Cheap OEM spark-plugs and oil for high mileage
My S will be due it's 108k service in March.
I assume it's possible to save a packet on spark plugs by providing my own? Where can I get OEM plugs cheap?
I also don't care for the Castrol SLX which they use at my dealers for S2000s/type Rs. I think it's far too thin and my cars all drink the stuff. Has anyone any recommendations for oil for a high mileage S engine? (Currently 97k)

Neil IHMO with high mileage engines i would use thicker oil because of the clearances, so castrol edge 5w30 or amsol 10w30.
I use edge 5w30 and its fine, i might try amsol when i next change my oil.
All Fully synthentic.
P.S shame i wasnt closer, i'd of changed oil/filter for you for free
