I have yet to get under the car, but I have noticed some oil on the floor in the garage. It is time for an oil change, so I will get a better look, when I do it. The car has 60000 miles on it, or around there. Are there common areas to look for. Where are good spots to put jack stands with out bending anything, for an oil change? I was going to build ramps for my old cobra, but had access to a lift then. Do any of you guys have a good place to get oil, and filter, other than local parts store? thanks, chris
and it is 8.5 quarts right?
I plan on using the recommended 0w40, but is there another oil that is just as good. When I bought the car used I had the dealer get the oil changed, as he didn't know when it was changed last. The oil that came out was very dark, and the rinky dink shop he sent me to tried to put in 5w30, and said that you can put anything in there. Since my oil is still pretty clear after 6000 miles, I assume that there was a lower grade of oil in the car to begin with, or hadn't been changed in a long time. thanks again.
