Hi
I'm going to dump all the fluids in the 96 240 i recently acquired and I was wondering what recommendations people could give on fluids. I do have a slight oil leak at my seals so I've been toping off the tank with mobil 1 high mileage oil and that seems to have stopped the leaks but now I am having my egr getting clogged. I was wondering if anyone had experience with the other oils like royal purple and whether they have changed all their fluids to royal purple branded stuff? I was thinking about doing that but I wasn't sure how well there manual transmission oil would work in a stock setup 240. I figure the difference would be more obvious in a highly tuned engine, but I wasn't sure. I also plan to run some seafoam through my gas tank and engine block before i do the fluids change (I'm going to ignore the vacuum lines for now, whatever junk is keeping those lines from leaking can stay in there for right now). In addition I was going to replace my stock air filter. Any recommendations on those, i.e. does the NAPA stuff work just as good as the oem or is there a better filter i should be using which is cost effective, don't want to waste that gas now, it ain't getting cheaper
Thanks in advance guys
