I use a synthetic 15-50 and would use 5-50 if I could get it.  Anything with 
a 40 on the end is to thin in my experience (bought some synethetic 0-40 or 
was it 5-40 by mistake once).

NGK plug - forget what the standard plug should be.  Gap depends if the 
ignition is standard coil and points or something else.

Castrol LMA DOT4 seems to be works ok for Americans.
