Hi dude!

there is a full m20 servicing guide here

http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... ervice.htm

the NGK spark plugs and Fram oil filter can be gotten from www.gsfcarparts.com for very reasonable prices :D

as for oil-you'll get plenty of mixed advice on that, so I'd advise you speak to your local garage or car shop-rather than getting a 10 page thread about oil :wink: :roll:
