service parts

[will 2]

sorry if this has been answered before but couldn't find an answer in the search,

anyway i am just putting my car back on the road after 5 years (due too being resprayed , yes 5 years for a spray and its sh......t, but that another story )

back to my question... i need to give it a good service and would like to know what would be the best upgrade for a standard engine... plugs, leads , dizzycap, oil and filter etc

thanks in advance gareth

Standard stuff is all you need & just make sure the oil is semi-synthetic

is semi-synthetic the best all rounder as some people recomend fully synthetic, not too clued up on oil appart from old school 'castrol R'

F7 engines don't like fully synthetic oil, it will tap like fcuk

[Coops]

Halfords have a deal on at the mo,think its 10 quid for 4 litres or something, buy some of that

Id go for a champion f136 oil filter if you can find one. Its the nearest thing to the original ones used.
