Just run seafoam through the ones that are in now, pick up some NGK Iridiums at PepBoys($6.99 each) and replace the plugs after you seafoam it.

Seafoam again after 2-3k miles but you don't need to replace the plugs again.

Let me know if you want some help replacing the plugs or running the seafoam.

I did mine all at once; intake, gas tank, and crankcase, then changed the oil and plugs.

NGK plugs last about 60k miles.

I was under the impression that the Iridiums lasted closer to 100k, but $40 every 60k is still fine with me.

No need to seafoam, your car is still freaking new, and not broken into yet
