Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches North Central Oil Change questions.

Well it's that time again. I need to change my oil, I am just wondering about your suggestions on what to use. I have 62,000 and some change on the clock. Am I just asking for trouble with thinking about a synthetic? I thought maybe go with 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic, and a K&N Filter. Ideas, warnings?

I have never changed it myself on this car. How hard is it to do? Anyone want to give me hand? Maybe I will have the KKM at that time too.(I hope so.)

Well Thanks,

Dave

well i don't think that there is a better combo for oil and filters. good luck...

My only warning for synth is that if you have an oil laek, synth will make it worse. Other than that, I run nothing else

I use 5w30, Dura-Blend. It's half synthetic. I have never had a problem with it...That is what would recommend....

I just use regular Valvoline dino oil. Nobody's ever proved synthetic is really better in normal car engines.

By the way, I use the Valvoline Instant oil change across from Northtown. They take good care of me (my sister used to work there). Just insist on 6 quarts of oil.
