You might as well bite the bullet on this one, for at least piece of mind as well you just never know how long they will last. more

Depends on your budget? If it works just recall in a note when changing the others at the service interval that they should be ALL changed i.e. The spark plugs! I would definitely just replace that one coil/plug to save some $$.

change them all. Otherwise make sure the one changed matches the other 5 as to type.

Often a worn-out spark plug can cause an ignition coil to fail. The ignition coil is the part that generates high-voltage impulses to create an electric spark.

Should spark plugs be changed earlier as a precaution? It depends on the mileage. For example, if your car has long-life spark plugs that are due at 100,000 miles and your dealer recommends changing them at 50,000 miles, it's too early.

Can spark plugs be cleaned? In old cars, it was a common maintenance job to clean spark plugs and adjust gaps between the electrodes. In modern cars, long-life spark plugs are not serviceable and are simply replaced.

You never ever just change a spark plug , change all of them & in a 15 year old car might be a real good idea to install new wires .. more
