Help with Tune Up!!!

I've got a 98 2.3CL (manual). My car has 100832 miles on it. I do not have the owners manual so i am not sure when the first tune up is needed. Also what type of plugs and wires should i use (does it make a difference). My local parts store wants $54 for a set aof NGK platinum plugs. Are these worth it?

Timing belt change is recommended at 90K miles.

I know the 3.0 comes stock with Platinum plugs. They're designed for 100K miles. I'm not sure about performance improvements.

I would recommend a good name brand set of wires that are 8.5mm or larger.



Other recommended 90K mile tune-up items:

Change motor oil and oil filter

replace air cleaner

replace drive belts

replace tranny fluid

replace brake fluid
