valve stems / seals are bad so I burn a lot of oil - back of my car looks nasty from all the soot.

so its time for an oil change and the difference between generic and k&n oil filters is like 10 bucks - is it worth it in the condition my car is in?

I have just been using the cheapest Quaker state 10w-30 since I burn so much..

thanks

 

put a fram filter..dont waste money ! i used fram filter on my b16 for 3 years of racing works perfect !

 

man get the cheapset one .......... if ur burning and leaking ....... id proly never doin an oil change again if i was u id just add oil to be truthful... g/l

 

nah, not leaking at all, just burning.

that doesnt sound like the greatest advice tho - just just not change it.

yeah, get the suckiest brand. fram

 

lol i no it dont my dad bought a ford pinto BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT WHEN HE WAS 20 never changed the oil one time in it just added oil the car lasted him a 140 k with no issues .... hahaha no joke ..... but its your car do what u think is wright......

 

Use anything but Fram.

 

Get Bosch Very cheap and they are 100% THE SAME as Mobil 1.

 

ive been using fram for 2 and a half years on my b16.....not to mention my motor probally smokes just as much as yours if not worse....i still change the oil faithfully every 2500-3500 on full synthetic...not to mention the quart a week i basically gotta add

 

first get those seals fixed but deff get the cheap stuff. also you car needs 5W-30!!! not 10. since you burn it that fast i guess it dont matter

 

Actully it's 5w-20 if I am no mistaken

 

I burn through about the same... I just use fram $3.50 oil filter and high mileage oil. Under $20 an oil change... I only do the change to hopefully keep it running til i can afford a swap. 210,000 miles :D

 

you are mistaken. the EJ8's take 5w-30
