BTW, same thing (first time maintenance at 170k miles, with no problems before or after) on spark plugs (yes, original at 170k with no problems!) and upstream O2 sensors.
First time change on AT fluid (twice) and front diff oil, with noticeable improvement.
The car really seems perfect now and I've run out of things to do on it.

Oldskewel thanks for feedback…we had a problem out here with a couple of gas stations that were literally watering down fuel ! ‘ they’ the gas company franchises in essence are govt backed cartels where they fix prices in their own favour and NOBODY does jack, when fuel prices globally rise the prices at pumps rocket immediately! When fuel prices drop globally do pump price drop immediately?!!! nooooo ‘they’ claim they have still got older more expensive stock that has to go first…place if rife with corruption if you ask me…and goes all the way to the top
As for fuel cleanliness perhaps adding a fuel additive /complete fuel system cleaner type job in a full tank now and again won’t do any harm will it?
