Spark Plug Gap & Oil Filter

What's the recommended gap for these engines? I've heard .052 but that seems pretty high. I'm not a big fan of just throwing in plugs from the box, even if they're pre-gapped..want to make sure they're all to spec. I read the gap under the hood but it confused the hell out of me

Also, what filter is recommended? I normally use Puraltor in my SRT, and I don't want to go with Fram... :shock:

.028 boosted

I just get OEM filters. Takes the guesswork out of choosing a filter, because you know it's quality. And they're cheap too.
