i would use it if the previos owner did. its worth the extra money, and just becase it is synthetic, you shouldn't go over 4000 miles with changing oil!!!! it protects better, not Longer. gas and fumes still get into the oil and make it dirty. use 10w30 in the tranny, non synthetic, or use REDLINE MTL Mark DrD wrote: > I'm the proud new owner of a high mileage 1990 900 Turbo 16S and would > appreciate opinions on engine oil.
