I believed they should do changed the oil filter along when i replace all spark plugs along with mobil one oil...
I also notice since i m in texas now we all using 93 insteed of 91 in CA so the car lot smoother n quite...
Soon I ll also gonna replace the oil brake cz is seems n feel kind of old...
btw do u think the cold air intake is working and if it does which brand would you reconmended..
Thanks bud
