Engine oil + filter, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, pollen filter.
Also remove and clean the throttle body.

Thanks for your reply. I’m new to this engine and although I should see the obvious I’m looking for some insight on the locations and know how’s of all the above lol. Thanks again any help such as pictures would help me along the way.

When doing your service, one thing to be cautious of with the Z22SE's is changing the spark plugs.
Be careful when undoing them, especially on cylinder 4 (gearbox end) as if they have been tightened too much it can crack the cylinder head and render it useless as a coolant gallery runs very close to it.

When tightening the new ones, ONLY torque them up to 20 N-m / 15 lb-ft

The GM Part # is 9199038 - Triple Electrode Spark Plug (equivalent to Bosch HLR8STEX)
