I want to do a "general tune up" on my XJ soon. What should I replace and what brands should I use? Wanna spend less than 200 dollars.

What kind of spark plugs should I use? I can't remember if its Champion or NGK. (1998 Sport btw) and does the brand of wires,cap or rotor matter?

Champion Copper Tops on the spark plugs. Some will disagree but I stick with Valvoline VR1 on the oil because it has the zinc in it we need for our flat tappets.

How about brands for transmission,differential and transfercase fluid? Is Accel from autozone a good brand for rotor,caps and wires?
