Lots of new owner info here: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discuss...t-here-202454/
OEM plugs are the best. NGK is the brand. Advance Auto allows you to select "exact fit" if you plug in the car information on a spark plug search. You need 2 of each of the two different plugs that appear. 2 trailing and 2 leading. Look for a T and an L as part of the item numbers.
If you are flushing with oil, no. If you are flushing with anything else, it might, depending on how much of a problem the other liquid is. Generally if you want to flush the oil system, just do a normal change, drive it 10-20 miles, do another oil change.
Engine decarb is a hot topic and the people that agree don't have much proof of what effect stuff actually has. Seafoam is commonly referenced.
