You can use whetever you want.

if the previous owner used regular oil, dont change to synthetic, just keep using regular oil. well since that you dont know, i would personally call him if you still have his number and ask him.

Yeah I don't have the owners nuber, as Ibought it off a used car lot. I was wondering if those "high milage" oils ar just gimmiks?

"High-mileage" oil is designed to do two things.

1. Cause engine seals to expand and reduce or eliminate leakage.

2. It contains a burnoff-inhibitor which helps prevent the oil from burning off if it gets past an engine seal.

I also have a 96 which I bought about 4 months ago with 83K miles on the clock.

I have been running Mobile 1 10W-30 in it.

So far, no problems related to the synthetic oil.

You can always use synthetic oil, it's very well worth the shot because it'll keep everything coated and it'll pump through and into the heads much quicker than conventional oil, which gets very thick when it's cold...
