As far as oil goes just check for the GM4178M oil spec on the back of the bottle in 5w-30 or 10w-30 if it's an LSX based engine, Pennzoil Platinum, Castrol Edge and Mobil One synthetic, all meet that and are reasonably priced and good quality.

I use NGK TR55 plugs, Mobil1 0w-40, and just basic Dex3 trans oil. Make sure you get a good trans cooler for when you put in the converter.

I'd get like 11 or 12 quarts and drain the trans completely and refill it.
