Well oil is like an a-hole everybody has one. One agreement i think people can make is that once you go synthetic to not go back to mineral and vice versa, and look at the manufactures reccomendations. As far as plugs, dont waste your money on all those crazy plugs out there, run the factory plugs, regular old copper top delcos or whatever else they may be

Rotella truck oil is a better oil. Good read below.
