I had the schedule B service done 3-4 months ago and I was advised on replacing the spark/fuel filter since the car > 4 years old but mileage wise it only has 48000 miles and it is recommended to get it at 60,000 and I had deferred it to the next service.
My car is at the dealer again for the window regulator and I was again advised to have these replaced - the cost of replacing spark plugs + fuel filter + air filter is $700 - is it easy to do this myself - will it impact the star mark warranty ( that I have until 2006) - should I take it independent mechanic - or should I wait for the car to reach 60,000 miles for the spark plugs and fuel filter replacement.
Please advise. BTW how many spark plugs are there - 6 or 12

Thanks a lot for your prompt response.
Could you kindly send me instructions on doing the spark plugs and fuel filter - I searched for the spark plugs couldn't find detailed instructions.
Your help is appreciated.
I guess I can easily handly the air filter myself.
What spark plugs should I go with.

Thanks.

Does anyone know of any reputable mechanics in San Diego who can do this but are less expensive than the dealer??
Please advise
