Default NGK BKUR6ET-10, every 30k to 50k
I check them more often than that, but my engine runs pretty clean and if it ain't broke, I don't fix it.

Default NGK PFR6Q (stock), 20k
manual states 30k for <'01. '01 is 40k. So, I did it at 20k, dealer did them at 40k under warranty, and just did them again at 60k.

seems to run fine at this interval being X chipped (some XR chip with 100-104).<ul><li><a href="http://www.sparkplugs.com/results_app.asp?productTypeID=1&amp;AAIA=1368109"> http://www.sparkplugs.com/results_app.asp?productTypeID=1&amp;AAIA=1368109</a</li></ul>

Default Every 10k, now running Beru Ultra-X UXF5.6
... in my lowly 12v. ;-)

The OEM NGK tri-electrode plugs worked very well, too.
