Oil changes
Hello-
This morning I'm going to change my oil... to Castrol SytecBlend 10/30w?
On my 864kq with 148k miles on it, any problems with this change? I
have only had the oil changed at 3000/3500 mile spots, with reg Castrol
with a Mann oil filter (also switch to Fram? -- How good is the MANN?)
and on the last two oil changes at the end (close to 3000m) the valves
would start to sing at low RPM. Thought going to a 50/50 reg/synthetic
blend would help this old but spry engine (hey, from what I've been told
on the list its just starting a mid-life crisses, at least an other 50k
miles till we part) Well any one out there who has any input on this
please help!!
BTW- the does NOT smoke just runs kinda of rough (think it needs a new
O2 sensor (where is the O2 sensor [I know its on exhust there looks to
be a hard metel jacket going around the wire???] any input on to where
to have this changed and cost??? The car also stinks at high RPM
driving, no I mean stinks as in smells!!!!
TIA
John
