Hey all,
I'm getting ready to do some maintenance on my wife's '03 Liberty Limited since we'll be taking it on a little road trip next week. She bought it new in September of '02 and it currently has just over 31K miles on it. I figure after 7 years it's due for new plugs even though the miles are so low.

So, here's the question - Is there any advantage to using platinum over regular plugs on newer cars? IIRC, it comes with regular plugs. Will we see any sort of fuel mileage improvement with platinum? And, which plugs would you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance!
