100,000 is what GM says to make people happy... Id say 75,000 is about time to change them.. I have 85k on mine and plan to do them before something goes bad

X2. That'* what I use and am very happy with them!

I am on my second set, however. They are a sweet plug.

Jim...my factory AC Delcs only lasted to 55K. At that point I had to change the wires too.
