Hi, there's tons on oil grades here-it's like a religion

You should be fine with 5w30 fully synthetic & even finer if you change it more often than the overly long bmw intervals

Make sure the oil meets BMW spec LL04.

I use Mobil 1 with no problems.
When I replaced my plugs, if the one's I took out were original, they should be good for at least 60k miles.
The oil filter comes with the copper washer for the sump plug, I know because I always forget and use the old one!
