I would NEVER buy anything that is meant to protect a high tech machine and yet bares the name of a group of people sworn to carrages and horseback.

I agree with this guy.. penzoil is some of the worst oil you can use. I won't even run it in my jeep

Pennzoil isnt my choice at all, but I was referring to Quaker State...

Guess this really buggers up Stanger88's pointless poll

As of 7/01' the YM02 build was instituted, including the Napier and 13# rings. 7/01' is about 50% of 2001 production (carried over for ALL of 02'). I think if you look at my poll's results you might shock yourself. I am definitely going to get a 7/01' car or later.

No worries, I'm just messing with ya.
Although it really doesn't bother me either way. To get a 01+ Fbody it would have cost me nearly double what I paid for my 99. Think I can live with a little oil buring if it happens. Well 1000's of others do anyhow.

Yeah pretty much. Fbody's are really rare here, and I got a cracking deal on this particular one. It had been traded in for a new s197 Stang and the dealer was just chopping it out at cost

I contemplated the S2K just b/c I like the cars, but too much $$ and I hate 'verts. I understand design parameters and a few squeeks rattles never got to me. I just dont like blatent issues (drinking oil like mad, ect).

As to "35% oil life" thats a load of crap. Synthetic oil gets the SAME amount of filth in it as regular, it just retains its chemical properties longer, still the same contaminants though, I say change it!
