Servicing my car

So time has come to service my car.
it has done over 6000Km's after it arrived from Japan and Serviced as per Australian Standards.

After Researching me and my friend Harry decided not to put Fully Synthetic oil in my car. So I had a choice to get something 10 W 40 or 15 W 40 ( Castrol Magnatec, Valvoline, Shell) They were about 29-35 Dollars .
But then this guy at the SuperCheapAutos told me you can try Semi synthetic by Penrite. Which is 10W50 and it is specially designed for Petrol Turbo/Supercharged engines.

Since am changing my exhaust manifold Gaskets I decided to get everything done from him in one go.

My NGK Iridium Spark plugs has arrived from UK and am gona get them installed.

Now all I need is the Oil filter to get replaced.
Any recomendations?

thanks guys

hahah ya man these cars can do anything they want. cant do much hey
ehh dont get 10 W 40 , get 10 W 50 or 60

most ppl recommended 10w40 to me said it will be good. ive been using 10w30 for the past year cause i cant find 10w 40 untill now.

what !!!!! up here u can get castrol edge



10 W 60 its the one we used in Chaser

it was quiet expensive yesterday abt 76 dollars .. !!

wow we dont get these in our big stores like Canadian tire and parts source. only mechanics can order them directly from where there made. most expensive one would be the one i get, Mobil one. its about $45 but i get it when its on sale so its only $35. that 10 bucks go for a oil filter!! lol

I said just do a service.
I gave him my ngk spark plugs

he is going to charge my 80 bucks for that (oil filter including)

and he said he doesnt know how much for the exhaust manifold gasket but he will let me know.
