I replaced my stock plugs with Iridium's in my SEL Question: why are you against platinums.

  I would use Benz antifreeze because it's cheap insurance against a costly repair. Also, do not take out the plug below the radiator all the way, just take it out enough to drain. Unless you have a helper to wiggle around the radiator at the top, it's a real PITA to get back in once it's totally out. Plugs require no special tools, just a spark plug socket (and a torque wrench to torque down the replacements), but I think you'd be wise to get one of the spark plug sockets with a rubber insert that holds onto the sparkplug, otherwise you'll be contorting your hand in all sorts of ways. I really like the ones with a pivot joint that came with the tool kit that came with the car. Just to make sure, you're using stock plugs and not platinums, right?
