How far should I expect to get on those NGK copper plugs I bought before they need to come out?

Default Copper plugs get pulled after 30k, as per manufacturer.I say every 2 oil changes, 10-15k,+airfilter.
Just a tip, to change your air filter a few weeks before your oil change. The new filter is LESS efficient and passes small dust for a while, showing up as silicon on the Used Oil Analysis. Changing the oil later will clear that sh*yt out.

Default Great tips. I'm running a K&N... when should I start thinking about cleaning that?
Local air quality is pretty good, i.e.) low dust.

Default I thought K&N needs frequent cleaning, I was wrong. Maybe every other oil change if it is easy.
If it is hard to access, I'd go maybe 20-25k on a cleaning cycle.
