For those wondering about the two lists...
According to the Owner's Manual:
Normal Conditions - US Residents
Severe Conditions - Canadian Residents
Any interval not listed on the Severe Conditions, is to be considered a normal condition wear item.
Example: Coolant replacement intervals stay the same for both conditions.

Re: FAQ: Maintenance Schedules
I had already seen this FAQ but my question was, what products, parts or brands, are the BEST stuff for our cars? Products and parts relating to the full service tune up. (for example, the best oil, filters, spark plugs, coolants, belts, best autoparts store, napa, autozone, kragen, etc.) I'm only looking for BEST QUALITY autoparts, I want to keep my engine running good and saving gas. What experiences have you guys had with certain brands?
