Any Fiero owners here ?

[Mightymouse]

There are several HDEOs you could use in 10w30 that have an old school add pack similar to the type of oil that was originally called for it.
I dunno if it's necessary?
Drove one of those a bit back in my Navy days. Really enjoyed it.

Naw...previous owners are toasted.

Don't laugh but when they came out I wanted one bad!

Oh I get it. A classmate in HS had one. At the time it reminded me of a small Ferrari.

I had an 84 Firebird and an 88 S-10 both with the 2.8 v6. Sold both with 220k on them with zero engine issues. Both got Castrol GTX 5w-30 and AC Delco filters their entire lives.

You could install the older Cadillac Northstar engines in these.

I had a chance to get one as a loaner and it was my Go-To ride for winter skiing and volunteering with an adaptive program. I was laid up from a nasty car crash and rehabbing out of that, I got in touch with an adaptive ski program to help others.
Commuting to NW of Denver was a 3000 mile season but that '86 GT railed on Blizzaks and was more smiles per mile than anything purpose-made for snow, ice and avalanche season. It was a fun car to drive and I had a window mount gizmo for hauling the skis. I was also able to get my mtn bike in the there other times with removal for the front tire and seat post.
Not the best thing for Colorado SUV needs but you take what you can get at the time and 'adapt'.

No getting around the fact it was fun, reliable and gorgeous in the bright red with BBS-looking wheels. Never knew it came as a T-top ,,, cool picture.

Yeah the one in the pic is sweet..it almost does look like a mini (older) Lotus Esprit's, remember those? Now I'm all nostalgic about the Fiero...lol
