Default Time for service

Hey there, time for the old ED to get a service.
What is the best oil, oil filter, and spark plugs for them?
Am i missing anything else?

Richie do a search mate

Having said that there is more to consider than oil, oil filter and spark plugs

Also check: Leads, air filter, fuel filter, coolant, drive belts, battery fluid, distributor, coil, the list goes on and that's just the engine...

What you have described isn't a service, it's an oil change

Having said that I use penrite oil, valvoline oil filter (*ducks*) and NGK plugs.

sounds liek a basic oil change. which is a good idea to do every 5000kms.

Oil filter - af1 or z9
Oil - penrite hpr 30
spark blugs - bre527y11 although some people use XR6 plugs (zgr6b11) but i tried them and the car ran like ИИИИ.
