Regualar old non synthetic should be just fine. Be especially carefull of going full synthetic though if you insist, as older engines with quite a few miles on them can tend to draw the oil past rings and engine will start smoking out of tailpipe. Did you you get a V6 or 4 cyl engine. The V6 is a lot of fun to drive!!! especially with the 5 speed.[sm=burnout.gif]

You have purchased a great kick in the rear car for the money. Have driven the 1.8 v6 and they are a blast to drive. Do not see many on the roads in US very often. Too bad they only offered model for a limited time. Was a great car!! Take good care of her as she will be a rare bird not too long in the future.
