Wasn't on an ISx50 then.

~$13 ea after CL discount on Sewell x 6 (otherwise ~$20/ea), come pre-gapped, and you have to remove the ignition coil tubes and some wire harnesses to gain access to the spark plugs. It's anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on how experienced you are. Definitely NOT a 10 minute job.

Good to know for the future

FWIW, I looked up replacement plugs at autozone and they ranged from $4.49 for double platinum to $6.99 for iridium. Not OEM, but I'm sure just as good if not better.
