Hi guys, as above, just doing my IHI conversion & want to do an oil/spark plug change. I've done a search & only came up with the oil, badger recommends the motul 15w50 oil, just not sure on the plugs, any recommendations? Also, anymore recommendations on oil aswell just to keep my options open.

Cheers

I was using Millers Oil 5w-30 iirc and NGK BC8RES plugs. Tried a few other plugs before this and these were the best imo and are nice and cheap. Just change them every 12k if normal sedateish daily driving and more frequently if driving it like you stole it permenantley and doing track days etc.

Cheers mate, I can't seem to find them plugs on ebay, I'll have a look on google or something later on. That oil is a lot more affordable, I've just bought 4 litres of the motul stuff, £40!

Just noticed my typo in the first post its BCR8ES. The plugs are speced for cossies etc but run great on BT 1.8ts. Alot of people I know using them. Think they are about £3 each iirc.
