Torque spec....

What are the torque spec for engine oil plug, wheel nuts, and spark plug? I have a strange feeling that I will do a lot of maintenance myself from now on.

That's too much. The spec that I've seen from the dealer is 80 FT LBS. I've read that over torquing the lug nuts can cause wheel studs to eventually break.
