10,000 miles, and re-gap them at 5,000 mile intervals.
They are so easy to change, so inexpensive (under $7 for a set of NGK's), and so critical to the proper functioning of the engine computer (the ECU uses the plugs as sensors by reading the electro-magnetic pulse induced into the plug by the combustion explosion to know exactly when ignition takes place in the cylinder) to not clean/re-gap/change regularly.
I gave my 9-5 it's 180,000 mile major service today - all new plugs, filters, and fluids. Sure am enjoying the 75+ degree temps this weekend.
