Hey everyone: The BB is getting it's first oil change since it arrived. I'm thinking a good organic oil would be appropriate for this vintage motor with 121K on the clock.
The service records I have are not specific about what has been put in before. I use Syn in every other car but I think it might be overkill and make it leak even more. This should be fun! |

Thanks everyone! I'm thinking the VR1 sounds right, 20W50 if I can find it locally. I plan on annual changes and I doubt I'll have more than 1000 miles a year on the car. I swear that I'll sell it before I put 20,000 on it as I NEVER want to inspect the strainer again.
Replacing the IMS in my 986 wan't as stressful as that damn strainer nut. Cheers! |

QUOTE(robkammer @ Nov 4 2021, 09:40 AM)  I'm thinking the VR1 sounds right, 20W50 if I can find it locally. I use VR1 (not the synthetic type) in both my 914 and 930. It's relatively inexpensive and readily available. Also there have been internet sales as well and I've purchased some from the net as well as local. |
