Hey everyone,
Still fairly new here, only my second post..
I’ve finally got my hands on my dream car, this stunning 1986 2.8 injection special.

It’s in great condition but I’m looking to give it a good once over and replace any consumables so looking for some definitive advice as to what’s the best stuff to get!
1. Oil
I know there’s been much debate on this from previous threads so not looking to start WW3 but if someone can point me towards the correct grade and brand for this machine I’d greatly appreciate it!
2. Spark Plugs
Any particular brand worth going for?
3. Air filter
Interested in getting the fancy K&N air filter, is it a straight swap for the original?
4. Coolant
Any brand/type worth recommending?
5. Battery
Don’t think it needs imminent replacing but probably will eventually. Anybody recommend any particular brand?
6. Center caps for these beauties

I think they’re off a Brooklands, they look great when fitted but the center caps are cracked inside, I gather they ain’t easy to replace?
Thanks in advance o wise ones
