Right it's coming upto that time for me to give the car a service, 1st off are there any plugs that will give better performance than the IK20's or IK22's, 2nd what recomendations would you give about oil the last few years i've used Magnatec 5w 30 and i'm happy with it but open to suggestions, in Asda they have Mobil FE 5w 30 @£4 for a litre bottle has anyone used this? they do have some high performance Mobil stuff aswell but it's 10w 40 so don't really want to use that,any advice guys.

Cheers.

The IK20 plugs are probably the best you'll need mate, even the standard lexus plugs would be fine for your level of mods, the Mobil FE oil is a semi synthetic and i used it in mine a couple of times and was fine, I do like to put fully synthetic in usually, but at £4 a litre its a good price being as Halfords sell it at £10.99 a litre Confusedhock:

Well the FE is designed for Fuel Econonmy aparently but I think i'd rather go for a 5w 30 high performance, but then again at that price it may be too good to pass up, would 3 litres do? can't remember.

no mate think you need four, best to get five and keep some for top ups if you ever need to.
Then that way you can top up with the same oil :thumbup::thumbup:

Don't know much about that Mobil oil, but a good fully synthetic oil will be good for your car's engine.

If you're looking around, a lot of stuff will say "synthetic" when it's in fact only semi-synth, not fully synthetic.
