Default Which Plugs/Wires/O2 to use on an L27?

I was wondering what were the best maintenance items to put on L27'*

Not looking for the best, just decent quality stuff.

I have heard all these bad things about bosch so I guess I will not use their stuff.


Plugs: AC Delco ? Platinum or Regular Plugs?
Wires: Does it Matter?
O2 Sensor: I think I will be going with AC Delco on that.
PCV: Does it matter?
Air Filter Does it matter?
Oil Synthetic or Mix or Non (Car has 102K)


I plan on cleaning the throttle body soon as well.


What other cheap things are worth doing on this just to make it run better and get better MPG?

All looks good. Find wires with a lifetime warranty on them if at all possible.

Personally is you are not going to be modding, stay stock, maybe upgrade to NGK Iridiums (made by Delco) but I wouldnt venture past OE parts.

Good luck to ya

I guess I do not understand whether to get the $1.89 Standard AC Delco or the $6.99 AC Delco Platinums?

Do I need to use platinum plugs with this car?

No need. Get the $1.89. Although I get my AC'* for like $10 for all 6... AC-607 or something like that.

Stock gap is on the sticker on top of the radiator. 0.060" for mine.
