Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

Hi Guys, i would like to do a service since i drove the car all the way from JHB, what oil should i use?

My friend uses Castrol Edge fully synthetic with his QG15 turbo conversion, should i also use the same oil? or go for something simpler like the castrol magnetic semi synthetic?

Also i would like to change my gearbox oil, what oil and howmuch oil should i get for my gearbox? i can get a pump to pump it in aswell.

And spark plugs, should i just put in the NGK's stated in the service manual?

Thanks!
