Exclamation 100K service...

Guys,

I will be doing a service this weekend since the car is about to hit 100k miles. Are the wires a must? How about the plugs? I haven't changed them since I bought the car at 58K. If so, please help me with brands and a site(s) I should order from.

Any thing else I should look into replacing?

Thanks for all your help!

you can get OEM (Bosch) or some members use NGK plugs.
you can also switch out your wires too. I think the company is called magnacore?

hopefully someone with actual experience can chime in. im about to do 100k service too currently at 94k

Don't really have any recommendations, but I am curious to know how your cars are still running at 100k?...

Newjd2- At this point I really haven't had too many issues. I had all the gaskets and seals replaced under extended warranty. Motor mounts replaces and the sway bar end links as well. Transmission was overhauled earlier in the year as well. Other than that it's been smooth sailing...

main problem i had was my tranny was overhauled at 50k but that was because of the coolant leak.

other than that, normal wear and tear. a couple of broken parts i need to fix. and my ps is leaking quite quickly, i will need to reseal it over christmas time when i have access to a garage. might have to replace the whole unit (but if thats the case, i might bring it to an indy)

Only replace wires or coils if you are storing misfire codes after new plugs. Plugs are due. Don't forget the fuel filter if it has not been replaced in a long while. Otherwise just do what the book says.
