You should buy a hanes manual or read the FSM.

It takes 5 quarts, and 20W-50 will be fine.

Best brand: No such thing. And see the link to the thread I mentioned.

Synthetic: Doesn't matter. See the thread I posted.

Spark plugs: See the FSM and/or owners manual for maintenance schedules.

In the FAQ are complete acronym lists. There is also an acronym sticky.

I don't mean to be rude, but open your eyes and read the info already there.
