Re: Premium Petroleum
Well, some people may be able to "religiously" change their oil and filter
every 3000 or so miles, but I'm not one of them. My oil change duration varies quite a bit and I use synthetic mainly for it's ability to go farther without viscosity breakdown. I think the synthetic lubes better, too. (I'm probably opening up a can of worms with that comment, though.) I just feel better having synthetic (in the AMC 360 in my Grand Wagoneer, especially).

Ok I realize everyone thinks I am an idiot by now because I'm new to this but I really am trying to learn. So, I admit, I don't know what "Timming" is. Could you please explain this to me. Thanks. |

Re: Premium Petroleum
Allow me to assure you that it doesn't take very long for a Porsche engine to begin making expensive noises if it even *thinks* it may be low on oil pressure. Nice light allow high performance engine, but unfussy is not a word I'd ever use in connection with a Porsche engine of any era. Approximately 9/4/03 19:10, twaldron uttered for posterity: > I agree.

Could you please explain this to me. Thanks. ignition timing is telling the spark plug when to fire in relation to piston position. first off, do you understand the basic principles of how an ICE (internal combustion engine) functions? lets figure out where youre at first so we know where to start. the good news joshua, is that by the time we're done with you, youll be able to build your own jeep. :-) -- Nathan W.
