I personally, usually change my plugs out every 3,000 miles or 5,000 km.

Sorry I obviously didn't make it clear, what are the signs to look for in a worn plug?

Usually lot's of deposits, carbon, poor performance, hard starting, hessitation.
I usually change mine about every 2k miles or sooner (i'm always swapping even if they are fine) i go through them like oil changes thats why i run ngk's except rite now i have some zex plugs in there (decided to try them this week).....

Take out the plug and take a look.
I personally, usually change my plugs out every 3,000 miles or 5,000 km.

about every oil change is a good time to change them so 3000 miles sounds about right. even though i change my oil alot sooner than that

You can tell pretty easily, the electrodes get worn down. Check the gap, if it's off by much, you should replace them for the best performance.
