Oil change

Whats up guys,

I bought my FD about a month ago and I am about to do my first oil change. I bought the car in TN and I was running on 10W-40. Right now I am in FL, what oil would you guys recommend?

Thanks

There's alot of discussions about oil in FD's. I recommend you doing a search. But if it matters, I use Royal Purple. And there's a $1.00 off per quart coupon in the lastest Pep Boys flyer.

If you're just talking weight-wise, 20w-50 would work well year round in the warm Florida weather.

Thanks guys, I think I am going to run 10W-30 since it's almost winter but later switch to 20W-50. Would I need to do something special when I do decide to switch?

Thanks again

I run the Idemitsu 20W50 and the Idemitsu fuel lube, I have talked to Ken Sheepers about it and he agreed that its great for rotary's.
