What spark plugs and motor oil?
 
Ok well this will be my first setup on my d16y7. I am curious what spark plugs to go with like the part number that I can ask for when i go into advanced auto and what gap is a good gap to gap them at. I am also curious what motor oil you guys are using. I like in MA if that makes a difference and it gets quite cold up here. Thanks in advance

NGKs you dont have to worry about gap they are pre-gapped for you and Mobil 1 synthetic for oil. Go with copper plugs they are made more for performace whereas all these new ones like platinum and ---- are made for longevity.

Stock NGK plugs, stock heatrange.. And never trust pre-gapped spark plugs ALWAYS double check them, I run a gap around .038-.040 with stock ignition setups.

Oil can be whatever ya want.. just change it often and you will be fine. I personally run 5-30w Castrol Syntec blend.

seen alot of syntec blend buyers other than myself, i first got turned onto it about 4 years ago with my old car, it started to have a little blow by and seemed to burn a little oil, put in the syntec blend and started using it religiously and bam no more. so from then on its all i have used

I gap mine around stock .045ish when my msd is hooked up. I think MSD says nothing over .050
