Since I can't use the search, need some help here.

Have a 2002 Maxima with 26,000 miles. Had the car since new in March 02.

Question, I looked at the spark plugs today and not sure if they need replaced. No one, (Pep-Boys, Walmart, AutoZone, Checkers) has spark plugs for my 02. WTF?

Anyone know a good quality plug and where? Am I due for a change? Thanks!

 

Your spark plugs are scheduled to be replaced at 100,000 miles, but in practice a lot of 5.5 Genners replace them at 60K and beyond to my knowledge.

Read the stickies and FAQs before you get your **** singed! Use only NGK plugs.

Do you not have an owner's manual?

You've been a member for over 2 years now.

 

Thaks for the advice, appreciate the politeness!

Yes I have been a member for over 2 years, I only come here every 6 months or so.

I am not spending an hour researching something that can take 2 minutes by a simple reply.

 

Given that response, you are going to be d@mn lucky to get a civil response on this Board.

What do you do with your spare time - its certainly not spent driving your Maxima or learning anything whatsoever about maintaining it.

Buy Bosch spark plugs, they are actually better than NGK.

Only use Fram oil filters.

Change your oil evey 10,000 miles, any sooner is overkill.

 

Fram oil filters, you have to be kidding right? FRAM SUCKS!

My response, you did not have to be so rude iin your response. All I asked was a question! Next time you be nice, it goes both ways, BUDDY!

 

I don't often come to the 5th Gen forum, so I'll let some of the regulars chime in.

Hopefully NmexMax will give you a suitable response to your query.

Fram does not suck by the way. And if I were you, I would only run Valvoline 5w20 in your engine.

 

fram DOES suck, and the whole second part of his post was sarcasm.


andi thought plugs were in the stickies

 

stay out of this one lol

 

zand02max I intend on changing my sparkplugs this weekend but I am well past 100k. Drive the car until at least 60k before changing as these plugs last forever.

 

Damn just answer the man. Not everybody reads the FAQs.

It won't hurt to replace your plugs. Go w/ NGK.
