what kinda oil do you guys use in your eclipses...? i probably wanna use synthetic and i believe it takes 4 1/2 quarts correct? thanx joe

i thought it was 4.5 but 5 quarts will fit. 95 rs

Yeah, I think its 4 1/2 quarts.... BTW, check your oil level to see if thats correct after filling, you definately dont want your oil too low or your spin a bearing and you dont want it over full or your blow out gaskets... And synthetic would be a good switch for youq, just make sure you change the oil filter too.

I was told by Satan to put no more that 4 1/2 quarts.

any brand names better or worse?

4.5qt of Mobile 1 Synthetic Oil and Filter, can't go wrong!!

Castrol Syntec is good too

i use 6 quarts of 10-40 and i have no problems regaurding oil or gaskets. when i worked at a llube place a book of theirs said to use 6.

btw, what weight is best for hot temps?=vegas

joe, use 10 w 40 foo
and buy 5 qts. and save half for when u need it.
since its cold, maybe 10 w 30, but im chill with 10 40

castrol syntec, the green bottled stuff is what i use, (you've seen it)

and for a filter, fram = #ph 16

Wow 6 quarts? Damm that's allot, do you have an oil pressure gauge? I want to know what psi reading your getting under WOT. Satan told me anything over 4 1/2 quarts will actually drop the oil pressure inside the engine.

That's right. If you put in excessive oil in our engines, it will actually hurt it.

I've inadvertantly added too much oil in my car once, and I cou;d tell it was unhappy!

nah no oil pressure gauge yet. workin on gettin some gauges in and preppin up for some turbo action. well i'm about due for a change so i'll go down a quart. i shoulda known the guy that told me that messed my car up pretty bad installing batteries backwards and what not

BTW where can i get a good oil pressure gauge and whre does it get the reading from?

Autometer are the best gauges around IMO. It takes the reading from the stock oil pressure sender unit on the back of the block. Although you have to use the sender unit that comes with the gauge. You gotta take the old stock sender unit out and go to Pepboys and buy a T fitting so you can install the new sender unit and still use the stock unit. The reason for this is so you don't get an check oil light on your dash all the time.

alright cool i'll get to pep boys and talk to my dad the grease monkey about helping me out.
