Default Looking for basic maintenence capacities/types

No owners manual to go off of (this is for a 99 M6)


Engine oil capacity/type (5w30 right?)
Transmission fluid amount/type
Diff fluid amount/type
Spark plug material/brand (either what is generally accepted as best on the forum or stock)


Thanks!

I got all the details out of the service manual for the 99.

Yes 5W30 - with filter 6.5 quarts
manual transmission 4.1 quarts - everyone has opinion on what type of fluid
Diff fluid - 1.69 quarts of lubricant and 4 ounces of limited-slip additive
Spark Plug - AC Type 41-952, 1.524mm(.060in) Gap

By the way, make sure to use Synthetic Oil, most use Mobil One.
