Best Answer

Try looking in the owners manual for oil viscosity type. Depends on the temperature range where you live. Most cars now use split weight. The 96' has hydraulic lifters, using a straight weight oil will cause irreversible engine damage. The oil is too thick to run through oil passage ways. I never have less than freezing outside temperatures here so I use 10W-30 with my 96'. I use Castrol brand oil and I put in some Slick 50, or Prolong, or QMI for long term protection every 50,000 or so. I have 198,000 and still kickin'. Change oil and filter every 3,000-5,000 miles. Depends if you drive long say 30 miles one way to work a lot, use the 5,000 timeframe. Short trips go with 3,000.
