Hi there. My car is do for an oil change. 99 eclipse gs 420a. Which oil should I use? Don't know what kind the previous owner used. car has 150xxx. Thanks.

The argument of which oil is best is a long one. I use Mobil 1 synthetic. Depends what time of year it is for what weight I use.

Same as above. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic and a good oil filter like Bosch/K&N/Mobil 1, depending on weather and season a 5w-30 or 0w-40 also. Changing it every 3000 miles is the best regardless of oils.

Unless the car is built or meticulously maintained the owner probably ran conventional oil at the weight listed on the oil cap.

Can you not ask the previous owner you bought it from?

Mobil 1 synth. And bosch here too.

420A's can live on dino oils with no problem.

Just follow the 3mo/3000mi change routine.

Use any oil that is 5w/30.
