94CutlassSLCoupe Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 yeah, it is clean but that means the steel stuff is rusted and the aluminum is corroded. It does have a valvecover leak (death to black plastic valve covers) but it isnt bad enough that i am going to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 the plastic covers were recalled. Grab an aluminum set when you get the chance. 10W30 is better than 5W30 for 75,000+ miles except for cold winters, it's the other way around. But you have the low mileage, if I had your car I'd be running Mobil 1 5W30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 were they actuall recalled? if so the GM dealer should replace them for free...I know they stopped using them at some point in 1995 or 1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 they recalled them towards the end of '94 so supposedly some early 95's had them too. GM should cover it as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 If that is the case, they get to install brand new alumium valve covers on TWO '94 cutlass supremes as my sister's still has the black plastic ones also. I'll definately think about mobil 1 next oil change. Not that i don't think the engine would run 200k+ without synthetic oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
