What's the best oil for the 180 engine and spark plugs, also is a piper cross panel filter worth it, can you replace the fuel filter in the 180s?

I used Castrol Edge 0W-40 with no issue's, I guess its down to personal preference really, as long as you don't buy cheap s**t you should be fine.
If your still unsure contact Opie Oils and they will recommend a good oil to use.
