These were the original plugs for my 2009 Honda Fit Sport. Pulled them out today and replaced them with the same brand/model (NGK Laser Iridium). There were 105k miles on these plugs. There was nothing wrong with my car's performance -- I just replaced them because it was due.

What do you think? Look like normal wear or does anyone see any issues?

Thanks!

Edit: Still have the old plugs if for some reason anyone wants/needs a diff view or closer shot

I changed the plugs in my '10 Fit, but only had 80,000km (50,000 miles) because of the age of the car wanted new ones in to avoid them seizing in the head.

They were Denso (i was expecting NGK). Changed them with NGK and put everything back together nice, but used a torque wrench to 20ft/lbs as I had read that they were coming loose when torqued to 14ft/lbs in a Honda TSB.

The plugs I pulled looked brand new, and read normal.

I initially thought the car had more power and a bit more fuel economy but now I think they are pretty much the same after driving them 10,000km.

Good to just have it done, was a bit of a pain to do. Now I won't touch them again for the rest of the life of the car.

Plugs look good!
 
That's too much torque. 14ft/lb or 20ft/lb, lol.
I did my Accord after 86k miles. I only torque 14ft-lb.
