So I think its about time to do a tune up. I bought my car at an auction, so I dont know how the previous owner treated it (although it might be an .org member since the car came modded). Im planning on changing my motor oil (always Mobil1), oil filter, fuel filter, getting a K&N Cone for my PR CAI, and spark plugs. Am I missing anything? I'll probably also add in some of that engine cleaner stuff, I did it at my last oil change almost 4k miles ago. Just wondering about the tranny oil, should I get Redline MT-90 or Amsoil? And where can I get it cheap? Is platinum worth the extra money, or just get copper? I can change it every 30k as opposed to 60k. Thanks for the help.

anyone? I need to know if the platinum spark plugs are worth it, and where to get MT-90 cheap. Isnt there a website that gives discounts to maxima.org? Thanks. Also, what K&N cone for my PR CAI?

What is the K&N cone filter part # for a Place Racing CAI? Lots of questions, no answers. All the numbers for K&N confuse me.

NGK's are the only plug generally recommended. Platinums are what the car comes with stock. Their advantage is that they'll go 60,000 miles before needing changed. Downside is they are expensive. Copper NGK's are much cheaper, but only last about 30,000 miles. Some have said the coppers give more spark. Comes down to personal preference (you said you can change them every 30,000 so I'd go with coppers. I am on my next change).
As for the K&N filter, you could call Place Racing and ask. Or a speed shop might be able to tell you (and even sell you one).
As for the manual tranny oil, I don't know. I'm blessed with an AUTO

Thanks. I guess Ill just go to a local autozone and get the coppers. Got all the other parts I need, just need the dealer code for www.myoilshop.com to get my MT-90. I hope that solves my transmission problems. Shifter gets thick and stiff as all hell. Wish it was smooth as my friends civic. The only wish of a civic. Thanks again for all the help.
