Tune-up is really kind of a misnomer these days. The on-board computer actually 'tunes' the car constantly, if it's functioning correctly.
Typical maintenance would include spark plugs, clean throttle body, change fuel filter, check air filter & pcv valve, clean battery terminals and at the shop I run a 'Quick Comprehensive' test on our diagnostic 'machine'. Book pays 3.4 hours for that. Away from the dealer you'll pay much less, probably. Any brand name spark plug should suffice, just don't get suckered in by Split Fires, etc. If I remember correctly the SVX probably came with single platinum plugs. Here's the factory recommendation: NGK PFR6G-11 or NIPPONDENSO PK20PR-11 . Beav |
