*It's recommended to use a new plug gasket EVERY OIL CHANGE.
**Use anti-seize on threads of bolts - you’ll thank yourself later.
***Intervals based off average Internet consensus. Rule of thumb: Change more frequently if you're doing heavy duty things -
towing/off-roading/etc or if parts look worn, squeak, make noises, etc.
