    Thanks guys for the replies.

    It's not really a big deal one way or another ont he money I just want to get a plug that works well with the car and lasts reasonalby well. My daughter will be away at college and I won't have the access to it for the maintenance.

    What kind of miles can I expect as a rule of thumb from the coppers before they should be changed? I know the iridiums are higher mile plugs...

    If I go copper it looks like Autolite 606, if I go iridium it looks like XP606 or ACdelco 41101.

    Coppers last at least 15,000 miles before they fail and cause misfires. Iridium lasts 100,000 miles. Not that most college kids manage to drive 15k miles in a year, but I'd go iridium for the peace of mind.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
