[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 5403782, member: 6727"] Since you don't know what's in there now, use a synthetic. The stock oil is a synthetic blend. There a number of excellent synthetics to choose from, including..... Mobil 1 Amsoil Royal Purple Castrol Syntec Penzoil Platinum [b]Synthetic Oil Advantages[/b] The technical advantages of synthetic motor oils include: * Measurably better low and high temperature viscosity performance * Better chemical & shear stability * Decreased evaporative loss * Resistance to oxidation, thermal breakdown and oil sludge problems * Extended drain intervals with the environmental benefit of less waste oil created. Most, though, still change at the regular interval time. [b]Disadvantages[/b] The disadvantages of synthetic motor oils include: * Initial costs are usually multiplied by 3 compared to petroleum based oils. * The lower friction may make them unsuitable for break-in with new motors.
