BrutalPineapple's 2007 DGP TSX Build Thread

So I replaced my spark plugs today. The old one in the picture is actually the better looking one lol the others were way worse. Don't really notice a difference but I'm sure it's there. I only pump Shell 91 gas btw. Who knows what the previous guy pumped.

Did the first oil change on the TSX finally last week. Like most cars (especially Honda/Acura) I know Mobil 1 is highly recommended. BUT I got better results using Castrol Edge Advanced Full Synthetic w/ Titanium (gold bottle). It's what I ran in my 97 integra. And it kept my engine 18 degrees cooler than Mobil 1 Extended Performance did. I always get the Castrol when it's on rollback at walmart for about $23. This is my first time using a Puralator oil filter. Read great reviews on them and decided to get the synthetic filter since I commute for work and want to stretch my oil changed as far as I can. Picked up a set of Skunk 2 magnetic drain plugs. 1 for oil the other for the tranny. I used PWJDM plugs before but didn't like them. I'm very impressed with the Skunk2. Look great and very strong magnetic. Not to mention their washers are pretty sweet lol. In the pic below you'll see my oil plug easily hold a hammer. Also a pic of the firestone filter I had fun with trying to get off cause they didnt put any oil on the seal. The seal of the filter was bone dry. So I took a screwdriver and a hammer to it.

Also did a coolant flush today. Used concentrated Prestone extended. And mixed with distilled water to make a 50/50 mix. But more like 60water and 40coolant. A mix I've always done.

Few other things I did last week. Install LED license plate bulbs, replace cabin filter and engine air filter and made my headlights look new again.
