Default Spark Plug change

Been a LONG time since posting and have had some bumps in the road since then. Lost my previous Audi in Hurricane Sandy (sucked!) and eventually got up and running again after insurance with a 2011 S4. Love the car. I am at around 57000 miles and with the minor changes I made and service I have done (oil filter, air filter, etc..) I am debating taking the car in for service to get the spark plugs done. My questions are, is the job easy enough to do myself and does anyone have any recommendations for the job? Thanks guys.

It is a 10 minute job.

Unscrew coil pack, remove.

Remove spark plugs.

Reverse.

That's it.

Just make sure to check the gap on the spark plug.

Yeah. I've got the tool for it. I'm running it tuned, but it looks like 0.028 is the gap I should have measured?

Most of them come pre gapped but I always recommend to double check on the measurements.
