Spark plugs, Moly Lube, oil change
I bought some new spark plugs, Lubri Moly engine clean, oil , oil filter.
Doing a mini tune up, I did my differential oil a few weeks ago.
I am draining oil, changing filter, adding the Lubri Moly, and fresh oil, then let it idle for 10 to 15 minutes then draining oil, changing filter and new oil again.
Then I am changing spark plugs, is there anything I need to look out for while swapping plugs?
I know our cars have 3 traditional plug wires and then 3 coil packs.

OE ftw! I tried those new ones and car was acting all weird till I switched them. You could do new coil packs since you'll be right there, but its not needed unless your having misfire issues. make sure not to over torque the plugs I guess.
And just be careful with all the wiring because we have such brittle wiring on the 36s

I bought good Ole OE plugs for sure.
and then this for engine flush, only because current oil seems to be on bad shape and PO had no real service history

What oil are you putting in the engine after the flush? I hope a good quality like Mobil1

Spark plug swap went well, I broke one vacuum lone, the hard one that runs over the valve cover, EGR I think. I repaired it, no worries.
I had 4 Bosch Platinums br5dex???? AND 2 Superlites......
Lubri Moly complete, I ran Rotella 15w 40 at idle for 15 minutes, drain, fill,
Next up flex discs!!!!

You don't mention the oil filter in any of your posts , but I assume it's swapped at the same time you flush and change oil...
Oups my fault.... you do mention it in your first post
