You know usually i defend the new people to this site because the vets will flame you......but this time you are by yourself............... FLAME ON






Search the freekin FAQ above this sub-forum. Its found in 3 of them. Paticularly Most Common Asked Questions which breaks down the synthetic vs regular motor oil debate as well. 35w90 is the best IMO :rollseyes:

Ok, I just asked a question not for someone to tell me were to look! I am not a newbie I have been working on rx7's for years, just wanted to get some input on what type of oil people use thats all. I will not use a synthetic because, they dont burn real well. I just really want to know what weight oil and even what brand I should use?

Ok here we go again just want to see what type of oil people like to use. Didn't really ask for simple minded comments. This site was made for people to ask questions or maybe it was just made for smart *** comments.
