No. It is a way that the warranty company can try to weasel out of the claim.

Besides, who's going to know that the plugs were changed? Just use the factory replacements......

When it comes to maintainence the 30K is different for '99-'01 cars vs. '02-'04. Make sure you do or get the correct service for your car.

'99-'01: different spark plugs (beru) 30K change interval, Fuel filter replacement required

'02-'04: Spark plugs (Bosch or NGK) 60K change interval, no fuel filter needed.

996 cars came with a pollen filter WITHOUT carbon filtration. The old filter is at Pelican for ~$12.25, the new filter is ~$50-$70! I'm happy to use the old style cheap one.

If you have a MK II car and don't need to do plugs, the 30K service is a piece of cake and cost about $110 in parts.
