Get OEM NGK's (plugs)

stay away from cheap plugs and those rip off Bosch plugs

i did my plugs at 30K ... i think the old owner used regular gas , it ran so smooth after

I agree regarding the engine oil. I use mobil 1 10w30. For plugs, you can use oem or ngk iridiums. Tranny fluid, I'd used honda mtf. White cap with green label.

Engine: 10w-30 Synth (Mobile, Royal, Lucas, Amsoil, etc.)
I use a Honda brand filter, they are cheap, why not... I also installed a Skunk2 magnetic drain plug.

Trans: HMTF (I'm not sure if this is still the best for an AP1 though)
I started with HMTF then tried Redline, then Lucas but went back to HMTF. HMTF shifted the best. I installed a Skunk2 magnetic drain plug here too.

Diff: LE 1605
I tried Mobile1 75W90 and Lucas 75W90. I like Lucas but heard good things about LE and Hardtopguy sells it so I tried it out. I like it so far and it's blood red.

Plugs: ?
I would like to hear more feedback on those Pulse plugs but I will prolly stick with OEM.

I have heard that another big part of the tuneup is a valve adjust, even at 30k miles... I downloaded the DIY and think I may give it a try soon. If you have never had it done it may be a good idea. What do you guys think?
