I am going to be changing the spark plugs on my Civic this month, but I have a couple of questions first.
(1) Is there something else that really needs to be done with the plugs? One of the reasons why I want to give it a shot with the Civic (and not the Sienna) is that I don't have to remove anything to get at the wires & plugs. So my question is, is my just changing the plugs, kind of like changing the filter without changing the oil?
(2) I hear a lot about NGK iridium plugs. I get the iridium part (longer life), but I'm seeing other companies list iridium plugs. Is there any reason why I should buy from NGK in particular? NAPA has some Bosch plugs.
(3) I am seeing a lot of information about gaps. As long as the plug is identified as the one for my engine, do I need to worry about this when buying new ones?
