AutoZone Awareness
I sincerely hope this thread will continue for a while with warnings about 
AutoZone and other "auto parts" stores. So here it goes
May 10, 2006 - AutoZone does NOT carry Motorcraft Spark Plugs for the 1997 5.4L V8 - I live in the Chicago area and they said that their warehouses do not stock the Motorcraft Plugs for the 1997 5.4 anymore. Is this a local problem or are AutoZones nationwide discontinuing the stock of these plugs? Went to the dealer and got the set of 8 for $46.00 (U.S.) even. Part# AGSF-22FSM

They don't sell motorcraft (which I would rather have) for my 4.2L 98 6 cyl either. Salesman was also surprised that I had different plugs installed on each side of engine.
I put autolite AP5144 (plat) in mine and truck fired up fine.

A few weeks ago at an AutoZone near my work, I was looking for 5W-40 or 0W-40 for another car of mine that requires it.
I was told that plain 40-weight was the same as 0W40 because "the zero is just a placeholder"

I don't trust Autozone or any of the other chain type of parts stores for anything anymore. NAPA is good but they are about the only chain that I trust any more. For sparkplugs for my truck I will go to a local mom and pop store that I used when I was a kid. The guy that owns the shop has raced Fords for years.
