AMC Pacer

[Carlostrece]

Hello, I have one of the sexiest cars ever made, a 1980 AMC Pacer. It came with the 285 straight six Jeep motor with 41K original miles. Can I switch from conventional 10w-30 to a synthetic 10w-30 or synthetic blend. What are your thoughts ?? Thank You

What is the OEM recommended oil for that? 10w30?

API SE or SF 10w-30 or 10w-40 depending on climate.

You have an original Pacer and you didn’t post photos?

There is a great 6 parts series on youtube about the AMC Corp, "The Last Independent Automaker" , it is a good watch.

My girlfriend in about 1984 had one. Lots of room for my tall self and overall comfortable to ride in. On the downside, poor build quality and disappointing gas mileage. Id go with Maxlife red in 5 or 10w30.
