Greetings. I work here helping customers like you repair their vehicle. Let’s begin with a diagnosis, plan and repair that will save you money.
Bad spark plugs? I doubt that.
i would retrieve the engine trouble codes from the powertrain control module.
Most likely it already knows the problem and has set codes.
Make sure if this has electric engine cooling fan or fans they work when hot and if not check the fuse's and try new relay

Every 500 miles, 'check engine' light comes on and oil has to be added
Hello. It is common for this engine to consume oil as it ages (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/What-Does-It-Mean-When-My-Car-Is-Burning-Oil_3). Typically the oil consumption comes from the valve stem seals. The only way to repair it is with rebuilding the cylinder head. I usually will look...

Hello - the codes you list (besides the P0101 for the MAF) reference problems with the oxygen sensors (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-oxygen-sensor) and a knock sensor (P0327) for your engine. These are normal higher mileage maintenance items, and do NOT require replacing the...
