10 year vs 100k service

My 02 Z has just hit the 10 year mark. It has 37k miles

Should I replace the plugs now vs 100k?

Thanks

I probably would do it, just for peace of mind...Plugs are not a big deal on these cars, plenty of room, a lot more than f-body!

I have read that you should change them every so often ( time frame = ??? ) so the threads don't seize up with the heads ?

You might consider plug wires as well, they could be fairly brittle and fall apart when you pull them off.

10 years / 37k miles? If it were me, then yes, I'd replace the plugs and wires.

I would also take care of any of these routine maintenance items that haven't already been done:
- change trans and diff fluids
- flush coolant system, brakes, and clutch
- clean air filter

...but that's just me.
