I live in Florida btw, I read the DIY deserthonda posted and he suggested Mobil 1 Synthetic, 10w-10.

I guess I'd probably go with that
i got to read that but if i suggested 10w-10 than i misspelled it,,,,,,,,,,if you have the money to use syntetic than use mobil 1 ,, since you reside in florida i'd use 5w-30 or 10w-30

if you do not have the money for syntetic than use any major brands 10w-30 or 5w-30
Ditto on Mobil 1. There's been nothing but Mobil 1 since day 1 in our 92 and it runs as good as day 1, too.

you can disconnect the cooler line to drain more fluid but you got to have the engine running and it still might not drain completely but it will drain a lot more than just normal draining
as for the capacity i need to know year and model
