Default Tune Up

Okay soI'm doing my very first tune upon my 92 GT andI'm only 17 and I've never done atune upever before in my life but I've got a pretty good idea of what I've got to do to get it done.

So I was wondering what kind of sparkplugs should I use(normal 30k ortittanium?),what brand oil and how muchof itdo I have to buy (Quarts) and what size, it's got85,000 original miles. I was thinking 10w-30 since winter time is just around the corner. I've already got a K&N Oil Filter from Kragen.

I have a feeling I'm missing out on something so if I am please post it, I will deeply consider any suggestions, thanks.

I would change the oil with Royal Purple or Mobil 1. As for spark plugs Im running NGK's. Also, do your cap & rotor. Go with a MSD, they are like 25 bucks from advanced or autozone. Do ignition wires if cash is available. The Ford Racing 9mm's are nice.

Also, you need 5qt's of oil.

his vehicle will require 5.5 quarts -6 quarts of oil.

Drain both sumps on your oil pan.
