Oil

Post by Crawford »

Hey i have a 87 1.3L sierra... Just wondering what oil i should use for it.. it goes through it pretty fast especially while 4wding.. i assume the thicker the better or what?

Does it make much difference?

Cheers

Quite the opposite.
Mobil 1 synthetic
For a 1.3 sierra engine it's a bit like feeding caviar to pigs but once you try it you see for yourself? :cool:

thicker oil aint good for them, but if the engine is already tired, it does help.
mine smokes a lot and uses heaps of oil, when using normal grade.
I now use 70 weight oil, idles a lot slower,m tappets rattle till warmed up, but uses less oil and don't smoke very often.
So I would say yes to thick oil if its stuffed already.

Last change I put penzoil synthetic. Motor goes smoother. I decided it was better to use synthetic with both the Jimny and the Sierra.

I think it worth the money.

I just chucked Penrite HPR30 in it. Mine spits a bit of oil out the exhuast sometimes so thought thicker oil might help a bit.

Chops - It could be either. When me and my dad first had a look at it it was running on three and spitting a little bit of oil. Its been running on 4 for ages and when it starts it sprays soot on the white driveway :lol: . So not sure of the mysterious substance... its either oil or soot... I'd spose my exhaust is dirty as hell though...

Eh, I might actually take a look now, I just assumed its oil as thats what it was doing before. Heres to hoping its not oil... I don't think I can afford it.

It most likley is soot from a rich mixture conbined with the condensation from the exhaust. If its spitting oil out the exhaust, then you got issues to sort out dude. Take a close look to be sure.
