You go Mr. Goodwrench!

 

LOL
well you gota know when to do shi* right???

 

All I know is when to doo doo. LOL!!! I see you were reading your owners Manuel.

 

That's a ridiculous regimine

BTW if you change your spark plugs every year you should pretty much shoot yourself in the face. Same with the plug wires

 

why?
They should at least be regaped every 10,000, even tho its much easyer and better peice of mind just to change all of them for 6 bucks


plug wires could possibly make it to 100,000 since high temps and current wear tend to harden the insulator. Consequently, breakdown is almost inevitable.

EDIT
you could also add o2 senors every 50K

 

yea i have been reading up on the manuel so i thought some people should know...about the spark plugs its reasonable to change them every year if you want a safe performing engine.

BTW its every 30,000 miles or 24 months(2 years)

i change mine every year though cause i have to keep a performance type engine

 

im about to flush my radiator, change oil, plugs and clean k&n filter. timing belt withing the next month

 

With the $.97 they cost I change them every oil change...

 

the only thing i NEED to do is get a new belt,do a recharge kit for my filter, and flush my radiator too(your not alone man)its sucks ugh
