Definitely change it ~ get that old stuff out of there ~ Put in some
cheep 30W or 5W30 (WalmartSuperTech would be my choice) & run it for a
couple of hours & dump it ~ then put in a Good quality 5W30 or 5W40,
depending on how hot the temp's are where you are & run that for the
next 1000miles ~ then dump that & put in whatever FullSynthetic you
think is best ~ I would run 0W40 if I could find it in a Brand I like.
