gathering service parts

I think i am going to start getting ready for my 30,000 mile service, as i slowly gather money. Does anyone got any comments on the things i plan to buy?

Green drop in air filter

OEM fuel filter

OEM spark plugs, or should i go for something else?


Redline mt90 for my tranny

redline 75w90ns for rear differential

( for both of these, how much of each bottle do i need to buy?)

in terms of brakes, i actually was thinking of a cobb stage 1 but i doubt i will have the money for it. i have yet to decide about the pads, if i need to change them.
brake fluid, i was thinking motul

i'm guessing i should check speedgear and eurosport for some of these? and get the oem supplies from george if possible.

anything else i'm missing?

I would advise against synthetic trans fluid, instead go with regular ole dino.

if i'm not mistaken, you have iridium plugs for your wrx- good to 60,000 miles-
i'll double check in the morning about the plugs- unless someone can direct otherwise.
try look on this site www.cars101.com its got a neat table of service recommendations if you plan on keeping stock parts.

Have you ever seen the Pennzoil bottle available locally? We've probably read the same threads and I think they were the same....just the GM bottle adds more $$$ to the price I'll have to go look that stuff up again.
