Re: Fuel Question 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be MittenHed on  Thu May 31 11:19 CST 2001 [RELATED]

As neighbor Phil says, try different grades of gas. My 90 ran far better on 93 octane than on anything else, and I had no driveability problems in over 200K miles. As to the oil, I switched to Amsoil at 180+K miles, and had no leaks. I did do an engine flush when I switched. Before that, I ran Castrol GTX 10w-30. I used Castrol exclusively for thirty years, and switched only because I had all the empty cardboard boxes I'll ever need. Or something.
