I was assuming 60k, when the plugs are due for a change, but there is no mention of it in the passport to service. Actually, there is no mention of plug wires at all. Are they everlasting parts (of course not)? What is the deal?

I think they are to be changed every 30k.

I was thinkin that too, but I looked back at my service records and neither the plugs or the wires were changed at 30k, and according to the manual the plugs are not in need of replacement until 60K and there is no mention of when to replace the wires. It has me in a tizzy.

Get ready for a fun procedure with the core back butted up against the back of the firewall!

Is there any tools/techniques that aid in getting back there other than removing the intake plenum? I need to change mine as well...

My bad, sorry for the misinformation. I am at the 60k service time and have decided to replace the wires along with the plugs. The newer wires are aftermarket and perform better, or so I have read, than stock. I will be keeping the stock ones as spares.
