How many spark plugs are required for my Chevrolet Impala 2003? - Page 2

Heavy_SS · 05-03-2008, 12:23 PM

Dont forget the difference between the standard and the Halogen headlight fluid. Those lights heat up and the stuff just disappeares.

You assholes were going to let him forget the flux capacitor? Man this forum's mean.

The bearings might last that long but not the muffler belt, that needs to be changed every 80k, sooner if it slips.

my 12v engine needs 4 plugs, as it is a six cylinder, 2 valves per cylinder.
my 16v engine needs 8 plugs, as it is an eight cylinder, 2 valves per cylinder.
my wife's car with a 16v engine requires 4 plugs, as it is a 4 cylinder.

V6 - 6
V8 - 8
V10 - 10
V12 - 12

And, let's not even mention the muffler bearings

And headlight fluid...

... I always thought it was blinker fluid.

WTF is wrong with you. Blinker fluid is also a different color - Orange for the front, and red/orange for the back depending on the vehicle. Don't even get me started on Altezza or clear corner blinker fluid.

I honestly cannot believe you guys. I came to this forum expecting great things and here I find replies like those before mine. What kind of people are you? What kind of people would take this persons HONEST (short bus)question and not even have the decency to have this person check the blinker fluid?! If you are having problems with your steering as well as your spark plugs.....check the blinker fluid located next to the FWD steering shaft, it connects to the transmission linkage that connects to the driveshaft that needs to be balanced anyways:)

yeah george was on cue and he was doing very good until he broke the cardinal rule, "dont toot ur own horn" but still he answered the question precisely yet i am still very very disapointed in all of you.

Why hasn't anybody mentioned oil yet? I mean spark plugs and oil..hand and hand IMO.

If you've got the 3.4L, make sure you put 3.4 liters of oil. actually u may want to add 3.5 liters for safe measure and...uh hummm a boost in horse power

ancient chinese secret, they have been doing this to these cars for years! shhh

**George Bates Automotive** · 05-21-2008, 09:35 AM

But I like to "toot my own horn" from time to time:) Besides, why worry about the oil? I thought the longer you use it the more you save lol

**George Bates Automotive** · 12-21-2008, 07:15 PM

Sorry, have to laugh at this guy one more time!
