I did put ac delco factory iridium plugs from rockauto on mine at 100k.
Reviews of spare parts for Chevrolet
I absolutely love their XP12/XP10 combo for track-only pads on my Vette
I got falken tires made in Thailand on my tahoe and some tires mad in Czech Republic on my mini cooper.
I use Valvoline NextGen high mileage synthetic blend 5w30 in my 1998 Tahoe w/ 161k miles. I usually use ACDelco or Wix filters. Depending on how much highway/city driving I do I change between 3k-6k (manual says 3k for city, 7k for highway) and five quarts go in, five quarts always come out :D. I used Valvoline full synthetic high mileage for about three changes in a row, but decided it probably wasn't worth the cost on such a high mileage, non performance engine. Plus, I wanted to use the NextGen when it came out. So far, I'm impressed with the recycled oil.
Just changed my oil in my '02 Camaro. It has the LS1 and just rolled over 150,000 miles. I use Mobil 1: 5w-30. It hasn't seen anything other than Mobil 1 so that's what I use haha.
We ditched the OEM Bridgestone Dueler HT 684II which is the worst tire on the road today with some Michelin Energy LX4s at around 50k, and that made a hige difference in sound, handling, and ride comfort.
I put 167k on a company owned 08 Silverado 4.8l. Oil, brakes and tires were all it ever needed and I beat the snot out of that truck.
The only issues I had were with the alternator eating it's own bearings every couple of years or so and an intermittent cooling problem on the 2.8 that ultimately ended up being a blown head gasket.
my experience was on my monte carlo ss, the oil pressure flickered and went through the roof, something happened with the filter and almost caused me to blow my motor, i tried another one for about an hour or so and sure enough it happened again. changed to a different brand, worked fine. my buddies dad who is an avid car collector and builds race cars told me after the incident occured that those filters are crap.
Put them into a stock '87 Subarban and tore my hair out thinking I messed up the wires 'cause it idled so bad. Really, like I had two wires switched. Put the old worn regular AC's that I just took out and it idled perfect.
