Re: Octane and oil

You should use Unleaded with Octane number of 86 or higher, and probably Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w-30. Make sure if it is 5w-30 though.

Re: Octane and oil

use what the manual says. valvoline maxlife is one of the best oils for higher mileage cars.

I've always thought Mobil 1 was, but since everybody's talked about it going from Type IV to Type III, or whatever happened, idk.
