Default Mustang GT 96 questions

Hello everyone,

I've had it about 20 yrs, but getting many different opinions locally. I wanted expert feedback from the online forums.

The latest,
I shouldn't use 20W-50 oil. ?

Do you recommend the Viper alarm system?

I have a loud, horn type sound that makes the car stall out when I turn on the AC, especially when I first turn it on and the temp gauge is cold. Throughout the day sporadic as well.
The sound stops when I turn off the AC. Could it be the compressor? I had a new compressor installed about 2 yrs ago.

I imagine some of these questions are answered on here. Not sure of the best way to find specifics on here.

Thanks for the advice

i wouldnt run 20w50

alarm systems are hit or miss to me, and does it sound like a "hooting" sound at idle? probably needs an IAC valve
