It's because they recommend running copper plugs in it. I personally would put iridiums in it and see how it does. The dealership will advise against this, but I know a number of people who run iridiums.

what I learned from tearing my hemi down to replace the cam was that there is enough oil getting onto the plugs, via the PCV system, that 30,000 is probably not a bad idea if you do not have an oil catch can installed. I just bought one and will pull some plugs at 30k to see if it makes a difference. If they look cleaner than the old plugs I just replaced, I might extend the time. We'll see.

for the iridium plugs from what I have been able to gather on multiple forums the reason they say not to use them is it puts undo wear
and tear on the coil packs
