Got new plugs from mazdaparts.org since I'm at 60k miles. That's the Schedule 2 recommended interval. Schedule 1 is 75k. Pulled a plug and compared it to the new one. The old plug looks pretty good, just a little discolored. The gap is .055, same as the new plugs came pre-gapped. Can someone confirm this is the correct gap?

The electrode looks to be the same size and shape as new - hardly any wear for the mileage, but I'm no expert. I put the plug back in and think I'll give it another 10k miles or so. Is that OK?

I'd do them all, but looking at the back 3 (it's the V6) looks to be a classic pain in the a$$ to get to those.

Ha - yeah it does seem like a large gap. I did some searches and it appears to be about right.
