Let's see here:
A worthless Haynes repair manual, just use the internet.
Spark plug wires? Do any vehicles use these anymore?
Digital tire gauge, about as accurate as kicking the tires to check pressure.
K&N air filter: good for at least 20 hp, if not more.
Oil and filter are always good, but the only vehicles using 10w30 are industrial.
Inline fuel filter, are you kidding me? The filter has been part of the fuel pump assembly for the past 20 years...
Flush and fill radiator kit? Good luck finding a place to connect this. You have to disassemble half the engine to get to the heater core lines. Just open the drain on the radiator or pull the lower hose instead.
Thanks for the tips. Now question, It is good with just the air filter or better the air intake system? But will the warranty be affected? Thanks!
Just use the standard air filter, the aftermarket air filter kits are worthless...
