The PO has put synthetic in the case of My Type IV since he got it.
The motor drips a little. Is synthetic to thin? Should I keep going synthetic? |

year old bump for this thread.
I'll try to find some royal purple locally. If not, mobil 1 will do. I agree that some of the cheap oil filters are crap, but what do you guys think about the newer k&N and mobil 1 oil filters compared to the OE types. I know some guys hate change, but the new stuff should be better. It will be interesting to get some oil analysis done on this car. |
