Here's what you need to find out before choosing an oil:
* Engine Size: Is it a 2.5L 4-cylinder or a 2.8L V6?
* Engine Condition: Is the engine original or rebuilt?
* Driving Conditions: Do you primarily drive in city traffic, on highways, or in extreme temperatures?
Here's a general guide based on typical engine oil recommendations for older cars:
* Oil Type: For a 1983 Celebrity, conventional oil is usually sufficient. However, if you want added protection, you can consider a high-mileage oil or synthetic blend oil.
* Viscosity: Check your owner's manual for the recommended viscosity grade. Common options are 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50.
* Oil Change Frequency: Consult your owner's manual for recommended oil change intervals. Typically, older cars benefit from more frequent oil changes.
Important Note: Always follow the specific recommendations in your car's owner's manual. You can also consult a trusted mechanic or your local auto parts store for guidance.
