There are other reasons too that you have to change your spark plugs, these include fouled, worn, or spark plugs with bad wires. These are a bit harder to spot and most likely you will have to take your car to a local car shop to have them checked out. If you are very familiar with cars you will be bale to spot a certain firing pattern with your cylinders that will lead to why your spark plugs may or may not be functioning properly.
We all understand that it isn't smart to overuse anything, especially when it comes to your transportation, but sometimes we are tempted to overlook overusing small things such as spark plugs.
