Default Spark plugs changed and oil changed at 60K miles...
I'm going to Sebring next week for the races so I thought i'd take care of some maintenance. The spark plugs looked good. I inspected a couple at 50K miles and decided to go longer. All but 1 looks like it could keep going another 20K miles at least.

Here is what most looked like at 60K miles...

One plug looked a tad bit hot with some more whitening of the tip and electrodes but no sign of melting of anything so still ok...

probably, but i'd guess driving habits can play a role too.

Default it's possible the previous owner had them changed but Audi dealership...
told me there was no record of them doing it so who knows. maybe just got lucky or the hard driving kept them from getting deposits.

If hard driving would keep them from getting deposits, mine would look like yours.
