Re: Oil Change
i would try it and see if it leaks, but I would also be prepared
to replace a gasket if said catastrophe were to happen.
mobil 1 full syn is something I would put in my vette LS7 race engine
(feel free to buy whatever you want, but I'm on a budget so I use cheaper oils cause mobil 1 is kinda overkill for me ;) )
But I change every 3k or less2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!

Re: Oil Change
I use Mobile 1 in everything, even my lawnmower. My last car had 293K when I dumped it, and it still never used oil. Mobil 1 is awesome :tup:2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone Stock

Re: Oil Change
i switched to royal purple at like 137k, and i just have a very slightly leaky oil pan gasket, 3k later i cant see a difference on the dipstick, i say go for it, but i'm changing oil tomorrow and i'm going with mobil1, because i hate my motor and want to buy a new one, but thats just me

Re: Oil Change
I would stick with the same motor oil you've had. The most important thing is new oil and a filter every 3,000 miles. Your motor will last a long time if you keep up this regular maintenance. My dad has always used penzoil in his truck and my moms car. The F-150 has about 223,000 on it and still is a workhorse. The dodge intrepid is around 278,000 and still running good as new. No oil leaks on either vehicle. I myself choose castrol GTX and im around 107,000 with absolutely no leaks and no engine noise. I run my motor HARD if I might add. Like I said again if your chaning every 3k probably not worth it to spend the money on synthetic but its your choice.

by ssms5411Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...1 day ago
