When to change spark plugs in my Pt Cruiser?

When do I need to change the spark plugs in my 2008 Pt Cruiser. It has 29k miles.

and when is a good time to change the belt?When to change spark plugs in my Pt Cruiser?You should consult your owners manual. Most newer vehicle suggest a tune up at 100,000 miles. I wouldn't wait that long if it were mine. I would replace the spark plugs around 60,000 miles. The timing belts are usually around the 100,000 mile mark.When to change spark plugs in my Pt Cruiser?We used to say, as an industry, change them every such and such mileage but the truth is that spark plugs have come worlds ahead of what was available when these intervals were conceived. More often than not you only need to change them every 100k unless something else has happened in your secondary ignition system causing one or all to foul. Just remember that when you do change them to go ahead and change the plug wires too, as they age you'll notice a whitish dust on them, this is known as electromagnetic interference or simply the aged wire is losing power throught it's cover and it attracts dust. Plugs and wires on you vehicle shouldn't cost more than about $60 if you do it yourself. Hope this helps.When to change spark plugs in my Pt Cruiser?29,000 no need yet
