I'm looking to just do a tune up before i do anything else. If anyone can point me in the right direction as to what to get for a tune up and what brands to look for. I'm running a bone stock EJ8.

and before any tune up, make sure there are no oil leaks, if so, then replace gaskets accordingly, ex oil pan, distrubuter, valve cover, vtech, ...

Thanks for the replies guys, i really appreciate it. And i did check for oil leaks, i just placed a board underneath my car for the night, i have no idea that would actually work. But my car has about 200,000 miles on it, so i have to use high mileage oil, and does the brand of the oil filter really matter? And if anyone has any information they think i should know, just throw it out there. Thanks guys.

Yeah, there was really no difference in price. I honestly had no idea that the oil filter would matter, so i just got my oil changed at Walmart :( im slightly ashamed of myself that i got lazy. Next time ill just change out my own oil and check fluids. So im assuming the oil filter is just a Fram.

for daily cars and s**t we dont beat on I dont buy f**king 8-9 dollar a quart oil thats f**king stupid, its the fact you keep up the routine maintainance and such that makes a car last
