I have an 87 GXL Auto (13B NA Stock) 70k miles and runs beutifully (other than a jingle right now from my belts when there is a load on it)

Here is what I have done:
~New Plugs (AutoLite)
~New Fuel Filter (not sure brand, got it from Advanced Auto)
~New Speedo Cable 9From Advanced Auto, it sucks massive ***** but works)
~New Brakes (1 new calipur)
~Changed Oil/Filter (Used a light oil for now 5w-30, and am doing another change out again before going to 10w-30 ... I find a light oil after a car has sat helps clean it out a bit)
~Stupis things like: Wipers, washer Nozzles, Stereo
~Checked the Air filter, still looks almost new
~I ordered a new AAS shock for the rear broken one (should be in havn't been out to the place I ordered it in a couple days)

I know I need to check TPS (waiting on friend to bring over his voltomete[sp?])
Anything else I should do?


Thanks in advance

 

20W50 only.

Unless you live in Canada where there are polar bears and glaciers everywhere.

 

THat seems heavy. It does get down to freezing temps where I live. Why do you suggest 20w50

 

autolite plugs? i have always had the best luck with NGK

and yes, always always 20-50 either valvoline or castrol conventional

have you changed the trans fluid?

get a manual trans

 

yeah I changed tranny forgot, can't go manual yet it needs to be transportation for my girl and she can't drive it if its manual lol.
The AutoLites are working pretty good for me atm, they where what I could get round me unless I felt like ordering and I really didn't lol ... plus all 4 plugs are the same w/ AutoLite unlike the rest and at the time I wasn't too sure what I was doing (I'v done a lot of reading since)

Really 20w-50? Seems uber heavy I meen for extreamly hot days its 90-100 degrees out lol Average for summer is 70-80 range.
