for plugs and wires, a member on here sells msd wires with ngk tr55's or tr5's for a good deal. user name is "blanco ss" i believe. just specify that your wires need to be cut to fit an lt1
oil...most prefer mobil 1, german castrol, royal purple and high priced synthetics. 10w30 or 5w30 is often use for ls1's, not sure about lt1's

ac delco makes some good filters, its generally accepted that any filter will do fine if its not a fram

use D, the other D's are so you can shift it manually

LSD and posi are the same thing, posi is just a name GM came up with for LSD

dont remember how many quarts it had, but just keep filling it up until it starts to come out of the fill plug

Actual capacity is 5.5 quarts for the engine.
I usually save the leftover 1/2 quart, then add it when needed.
I plan on going to the larger PF61 filter next time, so I'm just going to add all six qts at once.
