The oil drain fitting goes at the top of the oil pan. Its hard to explain exactly where we normally put it, i know someone here has a pic floating around of the oil pan with the fitting on it. 5W-30 is the best oil weight to use. Get the NGK BKR7E plugs, as they come gapped for what you need(around .035)

make sure you check the gap before you install the plugs.

There you go. As high on the pan as possible.

I would put it higher than that pic. You just dont want the drain to be blocked at all with oil from the pan. The HRC's fitting usually goes about 1" down from the lip of the pan, and 1" over from the 2nd to last bolt hole in the flange.
