    Alright, I was just wondering because it's impossible to get to the top of my 2 rear struts in my trunk, so if it involved him removing them then he definitely didn't and I have never heard of grinding them out before. Thanks for the information - it just seemed sketchy to me, especially since when I asked before I paid what it entailed the guy could barely tell me any information.

    That one's got a stock oval. Here's what your job should look like:

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
