Hey guys, I'm getting ready to change the plugs, Dist Cap & rotor on my 2000 Qx4 3.3
Should I go to the dealer to get Infiniti OEM Dist Cap & rotor?
Also, I want to buy the best performing spark plugs.... What do you guys recommend?

The spark plugs are the specified ones in the FSM. NGK plug wires should work well, and Beck/Arnley generally makes OEM-quality components. RockAuto is cheaper than AAP after discount codes if you don't mind waiting for shipping.

Maybe throw in a fuel filter if it hasn't been changed within the past 2 or 3 years. Wix or Beck/Arnley are good choices.

Thanks, Wow those prices on the cap & rotor are better than advanced auto.
Do you have any discount codes?

I used OEM cap/rotor. NGK iridium plugs and NGK wires.
