    if its a v6, dont waste your time.
    provided you have installed the proper platinum plugs, they dont require ANY servicing.

    if you have a 4 cylinder, youre suppost to replace them every 15 k anyway, so cleaning is pointless.

    what im trying to say is that basically, cleaning plugs is something that hasnt been needed on modern cars in about 15 to 20 years.

    Yeah...what he said Personally I have the cash to just buy new plugs rather than spend time cleaning, so I go the new plugs route. Same with my dad.

    Not to mention that if you do have a V6, it's a bitch to get to the 3 plugs in the rear. You need to take some things apart. In doing so you will need some new gaskets. So, basically it's not worth it unless you are changing the plugs, in which case you should let a mechanic do it.

    If you have an I4, then just get some new plugs and replace them yourself.
