Advice on this or any forum regarding fluids, spark plugs, fuel or any consumable varies. Suggestions range from correct to ridiculous and dangerous.

My advice is to get a factory manual and follow those recommendations.

So very true, sadly. However, jhodg5ck was more or less in line with that, though I'd be more careful about the trans fluid personally.
