Hey Smithy,

Not sure about filters, but don't go for cheap oil!
I tried that a while back and stuffed the shaft and bearings on the turbo!!  :-/
Just over $1000 for the rebuild suddenly made the cheap oil really expensive!!!   ???
Go for a full or semi-synthetic as this handles higher temps better and offers more protection.

cool...

changes oil and filter today...

Mobil1 (53squid!!!)   and a valvoline filter (same as z130a think it was)

feels so much better and smoother already!!

old oil was black, i mean not dirty, but BLACK !
old filter looked original!! pale blue, no serial numbers nothing...

man....feels good now I've done that...

car still seems to fuel cut too often though

Hi Turbos,

I always try to get at least a 15W-50, or 20w-60 and always change oil and filter every 5k.  I haven't used synthetic because of the cost.  Admittedly, if you used synthetic, nobody would know that my stem seals leak at idle.

Campbell
