The question isn't what the name of the oil is, but the weight.

For example, if you go from 10w40 to 20w50, you will notice a difference.

And, as for the spark plugs, what specific model of NGK? If the spark plugs are too high or too short, this may affect engine power and consumption.

as for spark plugs...not sure on the specifics basta ngk platinum

Aside from the change of oil and A/F. Did they adjust anything else e.g. idling, timing advance/delay, air/fuel mixture, valve clearance?

Bumilis at responsive ba yung performance ng car after?
