[W126 Coupe] spark plugs

[Jonathan]

Hello Bill,

I would just keep an eye on your plugs..If when you inspect them you are 
starting to see deposits form then I'd make the switch to the BP5's.  
Also, if it gets Really bad close the gap down to about .028-.030.   
That will help prevent shrouding etc.

What weight oil are you running?  How many k's since your last oil change?
