I have a 1989 caddy fleetwood brougham with a 5.0 307 motor google says it takes 10-w30
Is there any other oil i can add now that its old n has alot of miles? Or stick with original?
please put a summary of your problem in the title. Not your car. Thanks.
I would use the original oil
Thank you scotty
If it makes you feel better you could see if you can get 10 w 30 high mileage
Do not trust Google. Get a copy of your owner's manual and look up the correct weight and grade oil to use.
I thought Google was all-knowing
@gew - They are not, although they would like you to think so.
Is it free to get a copy of it? Or will dealer charge me?
I also put the cars info in the autozone app and same oil type poped up i will be callin oreillys to see what they say
Forget the dealer and AutoZone as sources of info. Go online and type in !989 Cadillac Fleetwood owner's manual. There will be lots of sites where you can download the owner's manual for free. Look up the correct grade and weight of oil for your engine and use it.
Get a copy of the owner's manual if you don't have it. I found one for less than $20 on ebay, with free shipping.
@justin-shepherd Why pay for it when you can just print the pdf from the online, free source?
I tried finding one and couldn't find it. Then again, I didn't look for more than a few minutes. Owner's manuals are a little different than service manuals, at least to me. I prefer to have physical copies in the glovebox, not a .pdf on the computer.
@justinshepherd - I said download the pdf, print it. He doesn't need the service manual, only the owner's manual to tell him what oil to use. He's not rebuilding the engine after all. He asked about the oil, it's free online.
Have to agree with @justin-shepherd on this one. Nothing beats a physical manual.
How are you going to print it? Manuals are often in small landscape format with double sided pages. Unless you have a printing press and custom paper, you're gonna have to carry around a 3" thick binder. And all that ink & paper costs money. No thanks.
If you want to waste $20 on something that's free, so be it.
