What type of oil should i use?

Typically a 5W-30 engine oil for that vintage vehicle which may be labeled on the oil filler cap. The auto store will tell you and give you the correct oil filter for that engine. Buy 5 quarts of oil. Buy a synthetic blend oil to last 7,000 miles between oil changes and make your engine last longer. Buy a repair manual from a href="http://www.haynes.com" rel="nofollow"http://www.haynes.com/a to make sure you know how to do the job.
