you don't need to change your spark plugs and plug wires all that often, just when it's needed

save your money

also to all those haters / doubters out there, running 91 octane advances the igition timing, so the car runs better.. i have data logs to prove it

then post them, or post a link to them. Having data showing that higher octane fuel not only doesn't increase performance, but that it can be bad for our lower compression engines, isn't hating, it's good sense..... but like I said, if you have conclusive proof that running 91 octane on the stock engine is better for it than 87, I'm more than interested in looking at it.

and you should post it to the thread where we discuss octane more in depth, too.

I can't wait to see this. I'm working on a minor in petroleum engineering. This would totally go against everything I read last semester.

OK then. Tell me exactly what a knock sensor is. Tell me exactly HOW the timing get's advanced. Like I said, the timing only retards when the engine is KNOCKING. The stock 2.4L DOESN'T KNOCK on regular gasoline. IT DOESN'T KNOCK. Get that into your head. The timing is where it is supposed to be, unless you get bad gas.
As for the fluids, what the hell is blinker fluid? I'm guessing this is another joke.

not wanting to argue in this thread anymore, he took it to the other front:
