Local dealership told anyways due for S/plug replacement at 75k so I decided to do it myself. Pretty easy and changed all...

    Nah - I start car at 5:45 AM, stop car at 7:40 AM, start car at 7:30 PM, stop car at 8:15 PM. 2 starts only. The blue coolant light turning off has insignificant impact. 5 days/week. Weekend I don't use this car. Once monthly long drives but again 1 start usually.
