I'd like to know what's the recommended oil for my 7A-FE because I'm getting ready to change it for the first time since I got the car a couple months ago. Also, is it safe to mix oil?

By mixing I mean just oil in general. Because I don't know what kind of oil the guy who had it before me used, and it doesn't actually NEED an oil change at the moment, so I was wondering whether I'd have to change the oil anyway so it would be all the same oil or if I can just get a quart and add some oil in until it's time to change it First thing you should ALWAYS to when you buy a car, do all regular maint. plugs, wires, cap rotor, oil/filter... i use 5-30 Mobil1 full synth in my 7A and it does well year round -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
