Which Oil?

[SKY]

Time for Oil change, which Oil do you use for your MP3?

 

[winty87]

My next oil change i'm thinkin the best Mobil oil there is or Royal purple

 

[MP3Architect]

i have royal purple but mobile 1 is real good too.

 

[P5MoJo]

Mobile 1 full synthetic & Royal Purple ATX... good stuff really makes a difference! Well when I used Royal Purple to change my tranny fluid it really shifted better. My friend who has a Celica GT-S says that he can shift gears easier. THE BEST STUFF!

 

[winty87]

yeah i need MT-90 tranny fluid or royal purple. goin into reverse is a b**** and half the time it takes me 5 tries to put it in reverse. :mad:

 

[ChopstickHero]

i use mobil 1 10w-30... works well.

for tranny fluid, i will be switching to Redline MT90 soon.

 

[SKY]

when we should change tranny fluid?

when we should change tranny fluid?

i heard every 20k. but i dunno how reliable that source was.

 

[SNike05]

I have royal purple engine oil and gear oil in my P5. The gear oil made a huge difference for my kartboy ss.

 

[dcbeggs]

I use mobile 1 and MT90.

 

[BlueWolfCry]

can some one tell me how much oil we're supposed to add during an oil change? I can't remember from the last time...

 

[flipmode815]

five i believe

 

[BlueWolfCry]

...that is way off..i know its below 4 but more than 3

five i believe

 

[SIBalla23]

Its anywhere between 3.5-3.9 quarts of oil for an oil change.

 

[flipmode815]

really! damn ok im new with this car so yea sorry! my other car was 5

 

[AznXstazy]

ya, 5 quarts would be fore like a 5 cylinder... i know that i usually use about 4... but make sure when u change the oil, that the 4th quart make sure to pour it in half way then see how much more u need.. dont pour it all in it might b to much. also make sure to run the engine after your done for about 5 mins cuz the oil needs to circulate.

 

[dcbeggs]

I'm not positive, but I think that if you use the 626 oil filter, which is a bit bigger than the MP3 oil filter, you can use a full 4 qts. Again, not positive.

Straight out of the owners manual, 2.0L engine w/oil filter replacement 3.5L or 3.7US qt.

Yep, you shouldn't put any more than that!
