              Depend on your driving habit, but NGK ZGR5A works fine.

                      They should be pre-gapped. It does not hurt to check because something might happen during shipping.

                        Castrol 20w-50 in my E34 (m50). Still get some lifter tick after 3k miles or so I change it more frequently.

                        Castrol GTX 10w-40 in the E30 (M42). Seems to do just fine.
