The plastic plug is starting to round off like they normal do, my question I see these at parts stores and they want bit more money than I think. Are these plugs different in the plastic they used, can I go to Lowe's or ?? and just get a plug in the same size?
Thanks
You are right the plugs are not the best but I would just get a replacement. They come in a two pack so you have a spare. One problem when trying to find a different plug is finding one with the right thread pattern. You don't have to tighten the plastic plugs more than snug. I just use the socket and my hand.

Good points, I use to carry a cheap stamped steel spark plug wrench behind the WH cover, think it went with the 5er when Ii sold it.
