Yeah I need to look up the plugs. Intake manifold has to come off right? Cabin filter will be done, dealer did the air filter, then I need to do diffs and transfer case. It was an Acura dealer so hopefully they used the right coolant...
It's low on power steering fluid, so I ordered a liter of Pentosin for $20. It'll also get a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3's. It'll be ready for off-road!
I drove it to work today to get some miles on it and check for coolant leaks. I noticed sometimes the driver side speakers (multiple) quit working sometimes when hitting a bump. I smacked the dash when it would do it and it would start working. I'll probably pull the radio one of these days and check connections. But wow, this stereo can really pound out some sound! And it doesn't even have the fanciest stereo.
I haven't even looked into plugs, I'm just approaching 50k miles. I have the Harman/Kardon 825 watt, 19 speaker stereo and my ears are ringing every time I get of the car. A few nights ago I was at Osborn and Central blasting a Metallica song and some guy with a ZZ Top beard rolled his window down to give me a thumbs up lol.
So far I've had a leaky LF strut, a recall to add auto park, an old lady that crashed into the side of it, an engine air filter, a cabin filter, 3 tire rotations and 4 oil changes. Coming up on 3 years of ownership and 50k miles.
