    What kind of os you guys use..? It should be about the time for me and I picked up some synthetic 10w40. 5w30 seems like overkill, especially since my engine is high milage, but I'm terrified if I put in 20w50, I'll be slopping my engine up and causing it to run alittle sluggish. I'm already getting awkward idle speeds, so I thought play it safe with something in between like 10w40. PO never told me what oil he used for his changes and this will be the first one I'm doing on this car

        i leak more with 10w30 than 20w50. it's a 200k+ daily, so it's a no-brainer for me.

                      hmm.. Same thing here ~210k DD for the moment. I leak absolutely nothing even with extended spirited driving; could probably thank the PO for that. If anything, I can just take it back early tomorrow and exchange for 20w50

                      Thanks guys!
                      Btw, this is super n00b question but.. How many liters does this thing take? The homebro at wal-mart was trying to tell me 7L, but I was like "heeeeeccckkknoooooo"...

                            ^this...., but always buy 6 as you will run about half a quart low after driving 1500 miles or so. You can never be too prepared. ;)
