I think those are platinium so at least 100k?

Most of the Hondas after '00 have platinum plugs...

I don't think I ever change mine. I would like to know as well.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong anyone, Aftermarket plugs are not better than OEM right? they're about the same?

And the Plug Wires, which brand is the best? NGK?

Sorry Adam9981, I didn't mean to be an a** and jack ya thread, Hopefully that these questions would benefit you as well. Again, sorry. Also WELCOME TO THE BOARD AND HAVE FUN...........:thumbup:

I change my spark plug every 12,000 miles because its not expensive, and its not hard to change. I'm using Bosch Platinum. I might go back to OEM aka NGK.

Denso Iridium>Bosch or NGK Platinum> or whatever brand/Copper

which 1 is best to use when you're spraying N2O, I read some article about it but forgot where it is.

I think zex has a set of plugs just for nos. Change your plugs every 30 if you can and change the wires every 60. I notice a difference with my MSDwires and NGK Vpower plugs over stock
