    These motors tend to burn oil at higher miles...If it has over 150k miles use 20w50 in the summer time only not winter and use 10w30 in the winter......Good luck I hate these cars!!!


    I hate doing a heater core in this POS

    duuuuuude! I do too, now! It's my neighbors car they asked me to do some work on and I figured it's an older "not so high end" car, it can't possibly be that hard to work on. Lol boy was I wrong! The brake system is all funky when you go to compress the caliper cylinder, and the alternator is between the block and the firewall!!!! They can take it to a shop from now on LOL. I'm done with it.
