Changed the oil today in my son's 94 Acclaim. Used ST syn 10W30 from my stash. Oil is about 3 years old and is sl/cf rated. Looked in the bottom of one of the bottles and saw a brownish residue. Addative settled out?
Will the poor old 2.5L 4 with ~188K be destroyed?
Well, anyway I hedged it some. I used 3 Qts. ST syn 10W30, 1 Qt. Rotella T 15W40, 4oz. VSOT, 4oz LC20 and enough drain oil* to make up a qt.
Plan to run this 1 year/10,000 miles.
