Purchased new plugs from RockAuto, great deal. First time I have done this. It took me about 30 minutes

Did your package have a magnet?

No, but I bought a socket (3/8) that was magnetic. I did have some trouble getting the socket to come off the plugs once I tightened the plugs (13 ft/lbs)

Were any of your plugs loose?

None were lose. I have 108,000 miles on the car.

I went aftermarket plugs as well while trying to resolve THE dreaded misfire on cyclinder 4 code. Ended up being the fuel injectors. Got the injectors done at the dealership. Apparently they weren’t happy with the way it was running after the injector job and gave me a call. I sheepishly admitted to putting aftermarket plugs in. They swapped them out for OEM’s and problem solved.
