Oil yes, plugs at around 10k, but there must be something wrong with the Fiat if you change leads at 4.5k | |

well service interval is 9000 miles so I just do oil, filter etc every 4500miles | |

you'll obviously see a significant improvement in running (though not power ;) ) by replacing worn plugs and leads with new uns. I find Halfords leads to be a bit fragile and tend to stretch when removing from the end of the plug | |

I changed my sparky plugs after 40,000miles and they looked like they were new still! | |

only worth it if your engine is highly modified and your coil n all that is different. you'll find that some plugs will last longer then other plugs but wont give you a performance gain. You might also find that cooler running plugs will keep your sparks nice under serious heavy driving but again you aint gonna get a gain. Best leads you can get are Vauxhall ones...but at a price. other then that, halfords will do. | |
