I wouldn't recommend combining the spark plug with any oil.

Default You've been around long enough to know that oil opinions differ...

Lots of us are using Mobil 1 0W40 (with good Blackstone reports to back it up). Others are using different weights of M1, and others are using different brands. There's no one oil that EVERYONE is using, although I'd guess that M1 0W40 is the most popular.

Default I'm doing Mobil 0-40 with Bosch Platin's FDP50R or whatever they are this weekend.

That seems to be the general consensus around here for plugs and oil. Except for RyanS4...but he's an odd one anyway! j/k!!! ;-)

Default Very True however with the amount of tuning and knowledge that is aquired on this board i figured..

There may have been some new feelings or thoughts towards one particular brand. I myself have used 15w5o and laser patinum from ngk in the past.
