Most guys on here swear by the BOSCH Fusion plugs. I swear by the Denso Iridium plugs. The plugs are not as big a deal as the wires.

I am a Bosch Platinum Plus 4 person even though th I run Fusion plug.
As for the oil filter K&N 3001 and the Mobil 1-301 are both 2 of the better oil filters, they are also large then the factory filter.
Don't worry about the drain plug ring, when changing the oil just remove and rotate the ring back onto the drain plug.

NAPA, Wix, Mopar, Purolator are all good oil filters.

10w40 will work just fine. Do NOT use a Fram oil filter. The copper washer is a crush washer so the drain plug wont leak.

Pick a brand of oil and use only that oil. Dont switch between brands. I recommend full synthetic. It will help your MPG alittle too.
