I have a question I hope someone can help me out. I was wondering when I do the tune up to my 95 eclipse gsx which one is the best oil type for it?. Taking in consideration that it has high mileage.

I have personally always used Mobil 1 full synthetic and have not had any issues with it. I believe they have a "High Mileage" 5 qt jug.

Thanks for answering, I found this online.. It help me a lot. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/how-to-choose-the-right-oil-for-your-car-or-truck2.htm

Synthetic oil will leak if the previous owner didnt use it.

Is there a way to figured that out?... And I don't really remember what I used before. I'm thinking I should use the high mileage 5/30

I used regular 10/30 pennzoil for years. Then tried Mobil 1 full synthetic and like the above posting said it leaked like crazy. So I went back to good old pennzoil. Never tried any high mileage oil so cant really comment on it

Maybe if it was reported oil change a carfax might have it on it. I doubt it. You cant just look and tell. I always ask the previous owner. In 95 they didnt use synthetic oil very much.

I was just wondering Because is a stock turbo from factory and working on a lot more mods.. N a friend that has a gti told me that any car with a turbo should/most use synthetic oil. I just want my baby to last forever. And again thank u guys for all the help and comments.

I use bradpenn 10/30.

I would use synthetic if I rebuilt my engine its better. I know that my car hasnt had it in. If I used synthetic now it would leak.
