if they are white they are probably still good. i think spark plugs are good for 30,000 miles but they can last way longer. i know my dad has not changed the spark plugs on his truck and he has owned it for about 5 years but then again he has only done 3 oil changes on it since he got it and he usually drives it daily.

That plug looks alright maybe a little lean.

On my motor when stock it loved, Bosch platinum +4 part# 4418. After some motor work it did not like these plugs at all, I went to NGK platinum plugs and still did not run good, finally Bosch super R6-191 plugs and it likes these much better.
