Welcome to FTE

Yep, standard factory gap will work fine.

"Snake oils" are never part of my tool box but MMO is good stuff, it ain't snake oil. When you pull all the plugs for gapping, see that the engine turns over freely a couple times by hand, too.

Depends on a few things, assuming all stock, .035 is fine.

Get yourself a service manual....
