Matter of fact since it was lowered I had the dealer change the oil and I always took in Mobil 1 for them too use...they never mentioned anything too me....
I dunno, they fixed it, I sold it with 190k miles and the engine still running strong....

RE: high mile oil
Hey all, Just throwing my 2 cents in.
I have had my 94 toy since it was new and have been running castrol gtx the whole time . And I have pushed it some times past 4000 miles before changing the oil. And I now have 162000 miles on her with little oil loss, none from leaking. I am just now seeing some oil around the valve covers.
Good luck choosing the right stuff...Jay...

Reply to high mileage oil usage
I have a 1991 toyota 4-runner and i have 260,100 and some miles and I have been using Penzoil 10W-40. It seems to do the job. Runs great!!!

I used Castrol Syntec in my bike for a couple rounds... it worked really good, but for my high performance bike I figured I better get oil specifically made for giant revs. On my 4R I just changed the oil and put in Castrol High Mileage. Castrol is by far my favorite brand of oil... NEVER any problems.
