Say What?

I'd like to think of myself as at least a marginally smart guy. Today I did the 30K mile service on my 2.7 base Taco, as I do every 5K miles. As I was checking off all of the items in the service book, I get to "change spark plugs". What? Are you kidding me? At 30K miles? I wasn't prepared to do this. Gotta go buy some.

Then I realized I was checking off the 4.0L schedule. Oops.

 

I did my spark plugs at 60k. They still looked fine. I doubt that's needed

 

If you read under the asterik, it states plugs are to be done to conform to emmisions rules, or something to the affect.

 

Yeah, I read that. I checked the service book up 90K miles and there was still no mention of a plug change for the 2.7. Sucks the 4.0L guys have to even think about a plug change that often...at least Cali guys, anyway.

 

Most 2.7 come with 100,000 mile plugs

 

Why are you making such a big deal out of spark plugs, they are $3 each

 

yeah we kinda got the shaft

 

Meh. It's not very hard.

 

true, I woulda liked 60k tho..........no way Ill trust any plug for 100K
30K would suck with the blower

 

"Say What?" is right! Why are you doing the 30K service every 5K miles?

 

I'm not. The whole point of the story was I was looking at the 4.0L service schedule by mistake. The "say what?" was I was initially surprised to think I needed a plug change at 30k miles....until I realized....um, wrong engine.

The point of this thread was just to shoot-the-breeze a bit and poke a little fun at myself. Not to be serious.

 

Hey....can't be to careful, right?

Just meant that I service her every 5K miles. This one just happened to be at 30K miles.

 

X2. 2.7 4 cylinder 100,000 - 6 cylinder 30,000. Hay neighbor in Wanaque - I'm in Kinnelon.
