usually new plug is set to correct gap. i would fit irridium ngk plugs 75000km live span and they cant be changed at plug gap anyhow these . just need correct plugs also the sales person of sparkplug can tell you the correct gap or confirm that they are set to what yours needs to be.

Yes, but take it to another garage for a tuneup, more than likely the irridium plugs will be thrown out and a new set of Champions to take their place, well before replacement. I know we did it, its a matter of course for most mechanics to replace plugs with a tuneup, sometimes at a service as well. So, your fancy, pricy plugs will likely be in the bin well before they are due.

this would depend on the application. my plugs always seem to be 0.025 gap out of the box & i need 0.045. i'm using Autolite AR plugs.
