i worry more about a air filter than i do spark plugs. the engine needs to breathe and air filters can get dirty fast depending what kind of environment you live in. those do go bad but i dont think i have ever had a spark plug go bad before i decided it was time to replace them. i have had plug wires go bad before.
when i get a used car i always replace the plugs, wires, cap, rotor and air filter. than i only worry about he air filter and heck it every 3 or 4 months. but like it was stated we do only have one spark plug so it may be wise to check up on it often and keep a spare plug at all times.
