The 2000 Altima manual and 1999 Altima manual differ in their
specifications for spark plugs. The 2000 recommends using NGK PFR5G-11
for spark plugs, while the 1999 manual specifies NGK FR5AP-10 for
spark plugs. Does anybody know of a reason not to use the 2000 year
specs for a '99? Would it be better or would there be any harm to use
those specs? While the '00 car is essentially the same as the '99,
there were some tweaks to it to bump up the acceleration and
horsepower. Both spark plug types are platinum and look like they have
the same heat range.
The models also differ in the 2000 recommendation for power steering
fluid being Nissan PSF II while the '99 is Dexron III.

there was a mid model year split on the type of spark plugs used in the
KA24DE engines on the Altima
If you have a 2K Altima the spark plugs are platinum and only need to be
replaced at 60K

I have an '00 altima as well. The spark plu is between 8.00 to 15.00
depending on the website. Does anyone have a good site to look at. I've
looked at www.nissanparts.org and at www.nissanpartstore.com. Does anyone
have any other good sites for these?
