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

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
