Politics and Religion

OK guys, you spent Thanksgiving with relatives, gobbling turkey, and skillfully avoided discussing the Forbidden Topics - Politics and Religion.
So now's your chance to let loose...
FORBIDDEN TOPIC #1) Motor and Transmission Oil
Harley says: Regular Heavy 105 above 75F, Medium Heavy 75 between 32F and 75F, and Light 58 below 32F
I've been using Valvoline Racing Oil SAE 60 and Kendall GT-1 SAE 50. Our AMCA Chapter has its annual Freeze Your Butt Off run on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (tomorrow), so I decided to drain out that summer 60 weight, and try some of that new-fangled multi-grade oil, namely Castrol GTX SAE 20W-50. It was about 35F this afternoon when I changed oil and transmission fluid, and boy, does it pour easy. This multi-viscosity stuff seems to be all the rage these days. Is it a dad-burned gimmick?
What do you use?
Also, a buddy of mine saw some Harley Sport-Trans fluid for sale, and insisted that I buy it, because it cured all the transmission problems on his Indian Chief. So now I'm the proud owner of two gallons of the stuff. Two gallons - I can change the tranny fluid every month for the rest of my life and never run out. Should I? And what's in this stuff anyway?
FORBIDDEN TOPIC #2) Spark Plugs
Champion H8C or H10C
What do you use?
FORBIDDEN TOPIC #3) Ford or Chevy
P.S. Amalie Oil Company claims: "In 1953, Amalie was the first oil company to introduce a multi-grade motor oil: Imperial 10W30."
