Engine oil how much and what type ?

[wyrmrider]

I'd run 0w- 30 or 40 depending on how worn your engine is
0w gets the oil flowing faster at start up which is where most of your wear is
I use 0w40 (actually a high end of 30) eurospec synthetic in most everything except the VW TDI (particulate filter)
It is designed for sliding lifter BMW LL- Porsche, MB 229 spec etc
made from Natural gas not dino oil
higher natural EP rating, takes less additive
Inexpensive at walmart

BTW do not use zinc additives with SN oils
they take a calcium based EP
normal zinc additives actually lower EP in SN oil

I can remember it must be nearly 20years ago now when l lived in Ontario Canada. We used to go camping in a place called Grand lsland in the US. On a Saturday morning we'd drive down to a big outdoor flea market in a place called cheektowaga just outside Buffalo NY. I used to buy Slick 50 oil addative from a vendor there for pretty much half price. I couldn't say 100% but I'm positive it made a difference in my old 82 grand prix brougham

That Flea Market was located at, in, the old "GEX" Store & Lot, about 7 miles from my home. You could buy practically anything there, and it was a Mob Scene every weekend. They tore it all down, and built a Walmart Super Store. I put their Communication links in, when it was under construction, and haven't been back since it opened...
