Why don't you just get stock ones. Stock ones are just as good and last just long.

Stock ones are actually almost twice as expensive as my Iridiums. And I'm not looking to buy more plugs. I just wanted to know how long iridums usually last.

He's right. The NGK Iridiums we sell are much cheaper than the stock platinums.

As to how long the last, I change my Iridiums every 30k, but I haven't seen any info on the boxes saying how long they should last.

The Iridium plugs should last you 100K miles plus unless you're boosting in which case you'll get 30 to 40K miles.

Ok this is what I found out.

Monarch, a huge spark plug supplier/distributor told me 40-50k miles. I accidentally called them because typing in ngk.com pulled up Monarch's site.

I then contact NGK USA, and the tech said recommended replacement is every 40k miles.
