My manual says plug change every 16000 miles. (UK).
They are easy to do, and the old girl really responds well to new plugs.
Personally, I change them earlier than specified, every 10 or 12 thouand miles.

i did mine first at about 10 then they fouled out really quick because i was running a PC with a bad map so i had to do them again.

they do make a big difference for the first few miles. and it is relativly cheap if you dont go honda parts...
