What oil and filter to use
I am a recently new owner of a 90 ZR-1. I am getting it ready for this summer. Does anyone have any info on oil or filter to use? I use Mobil 1, 5W-30 in all of my other vehicles. The previous owner had a NAPA oil filter on it.
Also should I change the plugs and wires? Is there anything else I need to check or change before I take it out on the road. I should mention the last owner had the ZR-1 for five years and never drove it. It has 59,000 miles. Thanks. DT |

Welcome
, don't be shy to ask on here. BTW, I'm not sure why you'd want a Red ZR-1 though

Re: What oil and filter to use
I was thinking AmsOil. Used it in a Suburban. Started at 10,000 miles. Needed to change head gaskets at 130,000 miles. Mechanic could not believe how clean things were. What about NAPA oil filter?
Flyn Ryan, I should be asking you that question! DT |

Bosch 3401 Mark H highly recomends them , I use them have had no problems. They are black just like the originals were, peel the lable of and they look great.

Re: What oil and filter to use
I bought the Signature Series from AMSOIL 0W-30. The website said it was the recommended oil for the LT 5. I will look for the Bosch oil filter right now I do have the NAPA Gold 1324. Thanks for the help.
