Still, no smoke, drips, or sooted tailpipes. My driving is 99% highway, about 35miles each way, so doubt a ring is coked, oh well, beena great rig
The motor oil is something I haven't looked into yet with this engine. I know for the first 100k it used dealer 5W-20 "Bulk oil" changed as per maintenance minder I'm sure. Then the second owner who drove it about 18k miles seemed to like Mobil 1 which is what's in there now.
Asking because some engines seem to like a specific brand/type of oil. Haven't had a chance to look at the UOAs here if any?
