I honestly can't remember. I usually get autolites, but it was an auto parts store I hadn't been to before.

One more thing that should be considered part of the tune up would be a fuel system service. You can do a basic cleaning yourself by getting an injection tank that connects tot he schrader valve, then filling it with a product such as Seafoam or B12. Follow the instructions that came with the tank. Also clean the MAF with an appropriate cleaner, and spray the TB with TB (not carb) cleaner. Do not scrub the TB.
