When you replace the spark plugs get the special tool, it is available on ebay, which makes the job a lot easier.
The one upgrade you should do to help your engine is an oil catch can. Needswings makes a good one.
Ditto on the getting the special tool. It is extremely popular and sold on many sites. Ignore the one person on this forum that may say otherwise.

Here is a link to one of many listings on ebay for the special tool:

If you prefer Amazon here is one of many listings there for the tool:
