Most people use basic 10W30-40 or 20W50 mineral oil (I prefer Castrol GTX) unless you have no metering oil pump and are pre-mixing.. some will run synthetic like Amsoil or Castrol Syntec

I have always used Castrol GTX 20W50 myself.

I use penzoil 20 50.. No synthetic cuz it is pointless since the car consumes it..

Valvoline 20W50 since that is what came in the car back in 1987. I have used it ever since.

theres no point in paying anyone to do your oil change, u save alot of money and u know that it was done right.





think how hard a oil change really is: drain oil

put new oil in

put new oil filter on

this doesnt seem that hard that u have to pay someone

correct me if im wrong lol

your not worng but what if your to busy then paying 25$$ isnt really that bad

I don't trust people working on my car.. plus its good to learn about what you drive



just be safe, make sure you support it on jackstands or ramps at least

This is a good break-in lube.
