A 99 cent bottle of STP fuel treatment every 3,000 miles will take care of
that. A lot cheaper than the 30 cent/gal. differential between regular and
premium.

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.

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.

being new has nothing to do with it. dont argue with the voices of
experience and youll do fine.

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. :-)
