I see no mention of spark plugs.


I forgot all about spark plugs!
Even though they last 100K miles, they need to be replaced.

I think I'll remove the struts because someone said that struts and brakes
don't go together (although don't struts need to be replaced as much as
spark plugs do?).

I'll definitely add spark plugs to a generic all-purpoe "tune up" even
though a "tune up" doesn't seem to exist as a "thing" any more.

That "tune up" will include the filters and spark plugs and wipers and
anything "rubbery" like hoses. With that tune up can be the simple stuff
with putting air in tires and topping off fluids.

Would that work better?

As long as it's not a 5.4 Ford Triton.

Guaranteed a do-it-yourself plug change by an amateur on one of those
will get REAL expensive.


Or they will blow themselves right out of the engine - like a generator at
work...
