What dsm Kauai said
The oil question is best answered, yes use oil of some sort and change it every 3000 miles.
I've seen people on this site using every band type and weight of oil
No one oil will be right for this engine more a factor of the condition and age of the engine and how much you abuse or don't abuse the car
FWIW I use either 10/30 or 10/40 conventional "high mileage" formulation whatever's reasonably priced at Walmart. Then again I use my very lightly modded car as a daily commuter.
Sounds like a fun car, enjoy.
Ngk all the way get some br7s and gap to .028.
Also what type an weight oil should I be using. Guy i got it from said he used Rotella 20w40 or 20w50. Is that correct oil
iridium spark plugs ngk all the way
Iridium plugs saved me a few hundred dollars. With coppers gapped to .018" I had ignition issues over 37-38psi with stock ignition. The iridiums gapped the same allow me to run 40+psi with the same ignition system.Iridium has the highest resistance to corrosion of any metal. That's the only advantage.
It isn't a catalyst like platinum. I've really never found corrosion on an electrode to be a big problem. So I have to conclude using iridium spark plugs are 1 a waste of money, and 2 a waste of a super rare element that might be better used for something else.
Didn't know of that property. Then again I'll never intentionally boost over 18.Iridium plugs saved me a few hundred dollars. With coppers gapped to .018" I had ignition issues over 37-38psi with stock ignition. The iridiums gapped the same allow me to run 40+psi with the same ignition system.
