    i got Bosch microedge exel blades from advanced auto, they work very well in combination with rain-x

    stabilus hood lifts, superblue fluid, filters are all good, for antisieze i use multiple types depending on the application, including plastilube, lubromoly copper, and locktite silver.

    dont forget fuel filters!

    M1 is overpriced for its average level of performance. Shell Rotella T synthetic or Havoline synthetic 5W40 would be a better per dollar value for your car, but if you did want to pick up some M1 0W40, walmart has it pretty cheap. if you want the best oils you can get, you want something that is shear stable synthetic with the right amount of additives and loaded with friction modifiers.

    LubroMoly 5W40 would suit the engine VERY well.

    Woah, grasshopper thanks Grand Master. Where in PA are you at? I'm in Hershey area. Where do you get the LubroMoly stuff?

    I looked into the manual for oil specifications and there are nothing about 5W40. Did you mean 15W40?
