    ive heard good reviews on it as well. the worst ive heard is people having to spray it once a year, just a light coat. ill be doing it sometime in the near future as well.

    This.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    No, you don't get to choose a color. They pick for you. They take your money and you get what you get. It's a dog-eat-dog world.
