I'm looking to replace my Spark Plugs and Wires. Just wondering which is the best to get? Car has 81k miles on it and they have never been changed.

Thanks

I'm guessing you don't mean they haven't been changed since you've had it? If you're all motor then I'd say just get factory motor craft plugs and a premium wire. That works best for me. Sadly our spark plugs are very spendy

Actually Motorcraft coppers are cheaper even if you have to change them more often. Coppers @ $12 a pack for 15k miles is only $48 after 60k miles. The OEM plugs are $60 and I wouldn't go much longer than 60k on the same plug. So that's my vote. Then again we're talking about a $12 difference and more labor. Your call.

I'm not sure if they have ever been changed. I know the wires look stock. I bought this car a few months back with 77k and now it has 81k. I changed the oil as soon as I got it and again at 80k. I also replaced the fuel filter, rotors, and pads. Anything else I should change? I also had to replace the coolant housing because it was leaking when I bought it.
