You got in on that action too??? Finally used up my last of it this past summer. Keep the car deal pics coming, man...
If the intake manifold problem is straightened out, run ANYTHING in it. 3800s are easy on oil. Ive run just about every brand/weight and the Bonneville loves it. Ive even run Chevron Delo 15w40 in it with no trouble of any kind. Still quiet as a mouse.
Took my driving test in a red '84 Dodge Aries 2.2.. That car was my first oil change too(QS in the circular white bottles) Had loads of fun driving that car with my friends and getting killer gas mileage.
In my 94 SL1, I used Delo 15w40 in the summer, mixed 50/50 with whatever else I had laying around. Went through around a quart every 800 miles or so. Car ran great, great MPG. I miss it!!

Why not?? I...

I used Mercon ATF in my Ranger and my F-150, they both worked great...
