I'm currently performing a service on my TF Magna but I don't know where the fuel filter and spark plugs and oil filter are located.

But regarding the oil filter i'm pretty sure its just below the air filter to the left.
Also opened my bonnet while engine was running and kept hearing a click sound (click,click click,) is this a major problem?

If it's a V6, then the rear bank of plugs are a *****, they're under the intake plenum. Have a look round the side and under and you'll see em.
The front bank are right in front of you....

fuel filter is located inside above the rear left wheel.
the click, click noise could be the lifters

You sure you are looking at the OIL FILTER, could be the AUTO transmission Filter.

The Oil Filter is situated right at the bottom of the car where is just next to the oil sump.
Dont Mix up the Auto trans sump with the Engine oil sump or you get yourself real big mess.

Is better u read threads here before you go changing stuff you thought is correct. Should also check how much engine oil you need to put etc....what grade , airfilter, and hows the condition of the ATF oil etc...

Rushing it will probably get you messed up.

cheers!

Sorry one last thing I need to ask, why does the magna use to types of spark plugs ( normal: front bank and Platinum: rear bank)

Because of the difficulty of replacing the rear bank. The longer they last, the less you have to replace them.
