Living north, with a very cool running 2.1L, which ran perfect for 10 years
while using Total 10W50 Oil.

Last year I switched to Castrol Edge 5W50, and this is the first time I've
had issues in the spring with engine noise and stalling.



Once I do a mechanical review, adjust the lifters, and make sure valves are
not sticking & push rods are good.

And run a motor oil flush.



I'm thinking of going with 10W40, Liqui Moly - German Made Oil

With only 70k original miles on the 1991 motor. I'm thinking of trying the
following combination.



To help with viscosity.
