I found this in a company's terms and conditions:
Special oils or spark plugs may be required for your vehicle's service. Specialist oil is a set cost of £24.00 + VAT whilst if recommended Spark Plugs will be quoted to you on the day of your service
How is this to be interpreted? "Special oils or special spark plugs", or "Special oils or non-special spark plugs"?

A specialty oil is a synthetic, much more expensive than regular (petroleum) oil. As far as I know (I'm no mechanic), you just get spark plugs that are recommended for your car's engine.
