oil
 

what do you guys think is the best or all pretty much the same? royal purple,mobil 1, valvoline, castrol,penzoil?
i get q horsepower. and does a k&n oil filter help cuz i get a fram.

RE: oil
 

i always fill with mobile 1, but its really preference. i would also say always use a full synthetic, but i know people that use blend, and some that swear by conventional... cant remember the reasoning.... i think it was that they had low oil pressure when switching to synthetic.... but thats because synthetic is absorbed to a greater extent than conventional so all they had to do was add a little more oil.

the filter will help some, but it wont be something you will be able to feel.

cool cuz i used coventional and the pressure was fine but its down now with the synthetic. thought it was a bad thing. ima spend my saturday morning changing my oil and cleaning my k&n. never done it but do you think a recharged or whatever k&n calls itwill help. last time i check it wasnt like the pics. lol

RE: oil
 

if you already have a K&N you can get the re-oiling kits at any autozone. i wouldnt worry about it unless its pretty dirty, and the bottle has pretty clear instructions on it. i re-oil mine about once a year.

and check your oil level with the dipstick now that ur pressure is down. you probably need to add a quart. if not then just dont worry about it. lowER pressure isnt a bad thing. as long as its in the 40-60 range ur cool

thats what i was gonna do with the filter. im sure it dirty cuz its my only ride and i had to take it threw the snow. hopefully il find a cheap 4/6cylinder americancar for the winter.

I dont think it reallly matters. its all about personal preference.

Go Full Synthetic, and check the levels regularly -- can't go wrong -- brand doesn't matter so much, if it's Fully Synth.
