I have just done a replacement of my VZ spark plugs because it said to at 120,000 kms * where I am at now- and I don't recall ever asking or being told by my mechanic they were done. I have had the car since 60000kms.
The spark plugs I put in are AcDelco from the Holden dealer and from what I read, they were AcDelco branded from new, However, the ones I removed were Bosch
Does this mean they were replaced before today since new?
I did not have to replace the manifold gasket which made me curious. It doesn't seem to be a metal one like what I purchased to replace it with - but nor was it paper thin like I expected and it did not break apart at all,, so I left it
At least I will get my $65 back for this gasket that I didn't need and Holden gouged me for.

$65, wow, they are around $30 on eBay, and yes, they are genuine AcDelco. Jeez, dealers...
