Just changed oil today, will see how things are in this always 80 something degree weather. Also change fuel filter with minor improvement on fuel flow, car seems smoother now. | | | | | 10-12-2007, 06:17 AM | #51 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Auburn, WA Posts: 1,814 |

I use 5w-30 elf evolution sxr. i live in WA state. It is a European oil company, they have higher standers than we do in the US so it is a better oil. I not only use it but i recommend it to all my friends and customers at work. here is their website. http://www.elfoils.us/lub/lubusa.nsf/home?readform | | | | | 02-01-2008, 11:34 PM | #58 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Odenton, MD Posts: 419 |
