Oil: Localy.

I admit it- I live in NO WHERE oregon.
The two closest places are Napa and a Shucks.

What oil and filter should I get from either of these places??

Also- On my TII- is it still just 4 quarts of oil? Or what?
Thanks.

And that means? If you think that brand name dictates performance... think harder.

No I said that because frams current filters are absolute crap. Several independent tests have rated them one of the worst to use on your car.

This is probably why my cars turbo died due to large ammounts of grit left in th oil.
Im almost afaid to check my OMP system.

My father used to use fram whole heartedly- now we wont touch them with a 10ft pole.

Mybad; I thought you were just questioning the fact that I mentioned a stock oil filter, the eyeroll emoticon threw me off.

Im almost positive this and past filters have broken apart and just glogged the hell out of the system.
I mean there was hardly ANY flow for the turbo it was clogged so bad!
