    Quite a few of us are really fond of Mobil One Synthetic over Red Line. YMMV!

    You can solve this by routing EPS conduits through the main deflector.

    Mobil 1 synthetic...ok

    please forgive my ignorance I have never used a Synth.oil does it come in different weights and if so what weight.

    How many miles does one oil change get you using Synthetic oil.

    I should also mention that the engine has 38K would that make a diffrence being such low miles?

    Thanks for all the help, I am learning so please just be patient with all the questions,.. and as I mentioned should anyone have a question about Optical related issues I am an expert in that field and would be happy to answer any questions. or about music or music related issues.

    Yes, it does come in different weights. I'd probably recommend 10w-30 for a street driven car, as it works and it is usually the easiest weight to find. I use 0w-40 in mine for a car that sees a lot of abuse.

    Some people will say you should be able to get 7500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes on synthetic oil, but I'm a big fan of changing every 3000-5000 miles regardless of whether you use dino or synthetic oil. Primarily because I wouldn't want to go 7500 miles between filter changes, and also because I look at fresh fluids as cheap insurance.

    Thanks a lot Altiain...

    I kind of get on the car a bit too should I maybe change the oil weight a to something other than what you recomended?

    However I am sure I dont abuse mine like you do since I am not racing it in autoX yet or even open track.

    once again I appreciate your the patience and great advice I have gotten from the guys at MME
