I use mobil 1 fully synthetic but you probably should stick with what you got or maybe try mobil 1 high mileage. I hear that is great oil for higher mileage vehicles but I think any top name oil is pretty good. It's not like we're running drag cars or even turbo cars, lol.

Once you start it up, it takes a few seconds for it to circulate throughout the engine. Nothing to worry about at all. ok that makes sense guess I just never pay much attention -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy
