We're leaving California for good and moving to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho next month. We're driving both cars, one of which is the recently resurrected 89 XJ (wish me luck.....)
It's an 89 with 149K HARD miles. From the looks of the oil when I first started working on it, my father in law didn't know you were supposed to actualy change oil. Plus it sat for 3+ years...Oreo Smoothie comes to mind.
I've run Mobile 1 through it for 2K miles since I got it running. I changed the oil after the first 1000 and it's was REALLY bad...and it leaks like a sieve now.... ;-)
Anyway, I'm going change the oil again before we leave. I'm going back to dino and run a bottle of AutoRX through it on the trip up there. Once I change the oil when I get there....what should I use? It's still a little cold up there. It's about 35 today and has been in the single digits... What oil should I start using in the winter? 5w-30?
Opinions please...
