Just bought it but it's a little low on oil so I need to add. It is running 5w 30 penzoil(sp?). Anyways would like to switch maybe, just wondering if you have heard the old tale that if penzoil gets mixed with other oils it coagulates. Heard it a while back didn't know if there was any truth to it. I tried to search but its kind of a vague subject.

Yeah Mobil 1 Synthetic. Other than that its got a new Air Filter but will be getting the K&N soon. He said he replaced the alternator,but when I get up to high rps like around 6k the battery light comes on I think the belt might be slippin but it doesn't squeal at any other rpm and it is sqealing at 6k I can't hear it over the engine
