OEM's installed at the factory are either NGK or Denso Platinum. They are designed for longer life. Up too 100k miles. The preferred Plugs on the forum are NGK Iridium. Don't last as long but should perform just a bit better than Platinum

Good time to change the plugs. Go with the ngk iridium's. As for the coolant use pre-mixed 50/50. Your going to need about 1 1/2 gallons.
