Default servicing

Hi all, its probably been asked a millions times so sorry in advance but what do you all think are the best servicing parts to buy?
I need oil, fuel and air filters, spark pugs and leads and the oil. What's the general consensus?
Air filter wise I was thinking green cotton panel or similar but for the other parts I thought I'd ask you guys.

Thanks

What year are your cars? Are they standard or modified? Road/track/mixed use?

Cheers

Import Car Parts for the oil filter (I believe they still have the larger, old style filter), fuel filter form the same place, any decent cotton panel filter will be ok, NGK PFR6B (untuned) PFR7B (tuned) for the plugs and personally I use Millers CFS 10w50 in my V6 Wagon......

A 10w-40 is ideal for your car.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Redline and Millers CFS. As a cheaper alternative the Fuchs Syn MC, Shell HX7, Motul 6100 and Millers XSS/Trident are good choices.

Here's the oil filter

Plugs and other filters are via these links.

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic with yours.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Here are the plugs and filters
