What kind of oil for a 1993 Plymouth acclaim?

Answer 1

It doesnt matter what oil you use, the oil is whatever the user of the vehicle likes, i like Valvoline myself, its probably the best motor oil out there... don't use Quakerstate, ive heard some pretty bad stories of how that will build up gunk, and aventionally, youll have to get that out in order to keep a good running engine... i always use Valvoline 10W 30... but you don't have to, you can use a higher or lighter weight oil if you prefur.

Actually, my father was a high-speed racing instructor and has been an automotive mechanic for around thirty years - and any conventional motor oil will degrade and gunk up engines eventually. If you plan on keeping a car for a long time, it is essential you use a synthetic motor oil. AMSoil is the leading 100% synthetic brand (don't be fooled by the larger brand "synthetic"s that basically throw additives into crude oil), and it is so effective at reducing engine wear that it is recommended to use regular for the first 3-5k miles to "break in" the engine. In fact, if you have been using crude oil for years on an engine and switch to AMSoil, you may suddenly find oil leaks because the crude oil has crusted over damage to the engine that it participated in causing.

AMSoil is typically around twice as much as typical crude oils, but you can go nearly twice as far on between oil changes, so it balances out. Well, when you minus the cost of repairs you won't be doing because of the added protection, it far reduces the cost of overall maintenance. If you have any more questions or interest in trying AMSoil out you can e-mail me at ckeller05 (at) wou (dot) edu.

We have used AMSoil in every race vehicle and passenger vehicle we have owned, and all my dad's clients have willingly chosen to switch over from conventional, crude oils.
