Default AU S3 6 - Spark Plugs

Guys

Have a June 02 S3 6 cylinder duel fuel sedan. What types of plugs do you recommend for gas?

FYI - I change the oil + filter every 10k & looking at the plugs at 20k?

Cheers

NGK BPR5EY
tree-fiddy each and they do the job excellently.
20k is too often (waste of money), 30k is fine.

Nah
i think you will have had BPR6EY-11's
the suffix indicates the gap in tenths of millimetres (ie 11 = 1.1mm)
a lack of suffix indicates the default gap of 0.8mm
which is juuuust right for LPG
