What oil do you use?

10-04-2002, 12:41 PM

I would like opinions on oil. The "book" says not to use 50 weight, what do you guys think?
I came across a killer deal on Mystic 15/50 for .50 a quart. I dont notice a different. I do drive fast, I go 90 maybe 100 every chance I get. If somebody wants to play stop light grand prix I can't resist. I see the 15/50 as added protection. So any thoughts?

I have made a lot of money in my life, most of which I spent on cars and women.The rest I have blown.
