Did you use aftermarket plugs because they are cheaper or do you feel they are better than OEM?

Just reached 24K on my '16 RS. Replaced the air filter - didn't need it. Checked the valve clearances - no change at all from the last dealer service. Changed the final drive lube. Used Castrol Power 1 this time. Left the plugs in til the next time

That was very similar to my 24K service as well.
