............

Look at the bright side: the factory calls for 105,000 mile replacement. You have another 20,000 miles (with - I assume here - no side effects............).

ez (at 123,000 on the factory plugs)

LOL, I have only been able to get a little over 100K on mine. My gas mileage recently dropped so I changed them out. Much better gas mileage now.

Notice there is no anti-seize on those plugs. Hope you didn't use it on the new ones.

No sarcasm. Just in case you didn't know, NGK has put out this bulletin.
