Oil types?
Hello all,
I just picked up my "new" 98 convertible and I see that the previous owner was using non-synthetic oil. It has over 100K on the odometer. Should I switch back to using the recommended synthetic oil? Thanks.

I would also. The previous owner used Dino just to save a couple bucks?

Any oil is better than no oil, but fully synthetic meeting GM4718M is the spec. IF you want to keep her running happily for a while use the right oil...
There are several that meet this spec including Penzzoil Platinum which you can often pick up on sale for about $3/qt.
