Default How often do you need to replace the spark plugs?

Hi there!
I have Audi A8, 2007, 4.2 FSI, BVJ. I could not find how often Audi recommends to replace the spark plugs. How often do you replace? And what is the Torque for spark plugs?
Thanks a lot!

Tightening specification: Spark plugs in cylinder head 30 Nm

Strongly recommend a copy of the Bentley Manual and VAG-COM (VCDS) if you plan to do your own work and/or to save money on dealer/indy costs.

For our A8L and A6 the $609 investment paid for itself in under 3 months.

Thanks a lot everyone!
For VAGCOM I already set a budget aside :-) Car is still under warranty…. But I do not see them changing my sparks. That’s why I had those Qs.

And thanks for the link! It sounds like I need to replace it every 55K
