what happened to the pics?

 

I believe Red Line uses group 5 esters in their motor oils. They might use a mixture of group 3 and 4/5 in their transmission oils though. Yes that beloved MT-90 could be a semi-synthetic. Of course it's not like Red Line is about to tell us the straight truth, so don't take my word for it. It's just a little suspicion I have.

I use Motul oils in all my cars. Their 300V motor oils are awesome. It's ester based so it's expensive, but worth it if you track or run your car hard. They're French, so they can't call group 3 oils synthetic.

 

x2

 

x2 as in i use royal purple 5w-30 and a k&n oil filter

 

4 quarts of oil exactly to fill it up. Easiest car i have ever changed the oil,

Also drive your car before the change, might burn your hands a bit but gets alot more gunk out.

 

so where would i find "german" castrol syntec?

is castrol syntec sold at pepboys "german"

 

i'm having trouble removing my drain plug...please help. I've tried all sizes..i don't know what to do to remove it.

 

You can go to your local grease monkey and they can do it for you. give them your oil and filter and they'll hook you up.

I had a stripped oil pan nut that I couldn't get off a long time ago.

 

i always put in 4 quarts of oil...but when putting the old (drained) oil back into the bottles i'm always short maybe half a quart. is that normal?

 

Great write up.

 

Thanks for the write up! Has Mobile 1 in it now (not the greatest oil on Earth, but its cheap at Walmart lol).

Had to buy a wrench end to get the filter off, but should be able to do it by hand from now on.
