But given the nature of the DI a little caution ain't all bad.
I put new plugs in my '96 CSE at 100K pulled them 12K later and found they needed nothing more than gapping. Today I looked at the new ones I put in last November--now with about 15K on them. They were the right color and just needed the gap closed. They were at about 1.2 to 1.3 (only 0.1 to 0.2 above the pre-set gap), so I put them back to .9. Car has been running fine on anything from 87 to 93 octane.
FWIW, in MY experience going to 10K then regapping is fine with a change at maybe 15K. But they are cheap enough to change them whenever.
