Willacy70 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hi everyone, I'm planning on doing small service on my 4ac and i am just wondering which oil i should use? Thickness wise and type wise? the engine was rebuilt less than 10,000 Km's ago and this is the first time i will be changing the oil since buying the car. Your input is greatly appreciated.

ke70dave Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I think i saw an advertisement for that valvoline stuff at autobahn for $12? Though i usually go penrite for no real reason, hpr30 for old cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
