    Re: brand of synthetic

    I know what my car takes... :loco

    I'm not asking that, what I am asking is, the Redline and AMSoil that people are using, is it 5w20?

    Because I have yet to FIND 5w20 Redline & AMSoil anywhere.

    Re: New Owner :D

    So why does the throttle body have all this black gunk inside it? The fuel injectors are probably worse. I've experienced this in numerous vehicles and the gas grade does matter. I drove 50 000 km...

    Re: 1st Oil change: go w/ synth, reg, or OEM ?

    You should actually do your 1st oil change ASAP, before 3000-4000k. You want to get rid of the original oil and put in something more fresh.

    Synthetic is the best way to go, the sooner the...
