Should I change the spark plugs myself?

I'm not sure the problem here... I've done the plugs on a couple 430s over the years and don't remember having to disconnect the coil packs from the connecting terminal. I seem to remember plenty of room to just pull it out. The rubber stem into the tube bends so easy to pull out without putting strain on the wires...At least, that's what has worked for me. Good luck.

I asked my mechanic about changing the plugs...I am at 165k...his answer was that the car runs so damn good right now...why screw with it. I agreed...I do change oil at 2500 miles...probably overkill but I feel good

Wow! 2500 miles?!? Yeah, that's waaaay overkill unless it's taking you more than 5-6 months to drive the car those 2500 miles. Remember until 10-15 years ago when just about every car had a 3k mile/3 month interval for oil changes? Well finally the manufacturers and even the oil companies admitted that 3k/3mo interval was plain overkill and literally just wasting resources. They conceded that 5k/5mo intervals were far more in line with reality. So yeah, changing your oil 500 miles earlier than what they previously admitted is strictly a waste of resources is a bit much lol
