Time for a tune up

This will be my first time giving my FD a tune up/oil change since I have owned it , I got it in JUNE 04'.

I plan on changing out-
-Oil
-Oil Filter
-Drain plug gasket
-Spark Plugs
-SPark plug wires
-Fuel filter?


Then in a few weeks im taking it to a shop to have the injectors cleaned and flushed along with the collant system.


AM I missing anything?

P.S. whats a good spark plug/wire set up to use on a stock FD.

well when I purchased the car it had 109,000 miles on it now it has 112,000 thats 3,000 miles , so i think im right on time.



PS the previous owner just had the oil changed and new spark plugs/wires installed before he sold it to me and yes I saw the reciepts.

Change the Diff and Trany fluids as well since you don't know when they were last done.

^^agreed on that

but you have to remember something about oil changes, when they say change it every 3000 miles, they also add that you can do it every 3 months..they say whatever comes FIRST..

so you can travel 900 miles in 3 months and still be due, it may be dumb but better safe than sorry i guess...LOL

i just change mine every 3 months cause i never break 3000 miles in 3 months..

if he replaced the plugs when you bought it then why change them 3k miles later? Do the injectors, fuel filter.
