Tune-Up Parts Do You Use?
Tune-Up Parts Do You Use?
I went to AutoZone to buy the things i needed for a tune-up. I wasn't paying attention to the brands the guy was putting in front of me until after i got home. So for my '98 Pathfinder VG33E engine they gave me: Wires=Duralast, Plugs=Autolite, Air Cleaner=Fram, Oil filter=Fram, Fuel filter=AutoZone, PCV=AutoZone, Valve Cover Gasket=ROL. Will this stuff work? What would you change?

I would get the OEM specified NGK plugs (BK5RE-11). I'd also obtain an OEM PCV valve. I've also never heard of "ROL" brand for the valve cover gaskets, maybe get a Fel-Pro set instead.

And I wouldn't use Fram anything. There are several "I bought every oil filter for my car and cut them open" websites and Fram comes out near the bottom in every one. I use Wix. I've personally compared Wix to OEM to Fram air filters and Wix comes out the clear winner on surface area.
