Moving along with my maintainance on my 03 sedan with a 100k. Got the diff fluid. I'm thinkin i should have done at the shop quickstyle on the side when i decide to put coilovers on. For now I want to attempt the spark plugs myself. I know NGK is the way to go. The manual says platinum tipped. I've read about people going with irridium NGK's on here. That's what i need confirmation on. A model # would be great.
