I'm driving a 1997 Eagle Talon Esi. 420a. Non Turbo.
I've had some problems with leaking oil, its been about a quart every 800-1000 miles.
A shop said the leak could be the valve cover gasket. So I'm about to replace the gasket and do an oil change. Since I've had the car running (beginning of the summer) I've used 5w-30.
I did a bit of research and I've seen a lot of people are using 10w-30. What should I use? What are the advantages/disadvantages to either?
I live in the midwest and am trying to use this car as a spring-fall car to avoid salt on the roads as much as I can.
