Will, you have a subject-verb agreement problem there (there ARE dolts, or there IS a dolt). Unless, of course, your intention was to sound like a hayseed for humorous purposes.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

NOH20,

I put 0W40 in my '89 and the thing wouldn't stop smoking. Replaced it with good ole 15W50 and it was fine.

That stuff is like sewing machine oil.

20W50 Synthetic
 

Amsoil 20W50...They make both a street oil and a racing oil. The street oil can be bought at close to Mobil-1 prices. The racing oil is up there with Redline and not the right product for Street cars anyway.

See my tech article on Pelican Parts site. The article is 7 years old but the fundametals are the same.

PM Me or e-mail for Discounts.

That's the direction I'll probably go. I could stock up as there's some out there still, but why prolong the inevitable. My BMW friends have chosen to go this route as well.

Sent you an Email.

That would explain why I haven't been able to find M1 15/50 in any of the local auto stores...

Yeah, the Mobil1.com 'pick an oil' recommended an SUV 5w-40 for my turbo. Ironic that the branding to make the oil more marketable (SUV) backfires when selling to a premium oils consumer like the p-car crowd.
