Cobalt Tom:2006 Cobalt LS: N/A build

is the purple oil is conform to gm.

it cheaper for you to try a other gauge first.

 

[Cobalt Tom]

no, the oil does not conform to gms standards, but from what ive heard thats not because they failed the test...its because they didnt take it at all


as far as the gauge goes, i might try a cheap mechanical one (outside the car) hooked up and see if there is a diff

start by using conform oil.

what octane do you run?

 

[huckernage]

at least 91. idk if you can run 87 when cammed

 

[Cobalt Tom]

you COULD, but youll get more out of 91
i run 91 or higher (if avail)

 

[Cobalt Tom]

SOO....she has a new motor now due to spun rod bearing and 16 tapped valves (overspun the engine)
needs a retune soon (running VERY rich) and I have to put a new front main seel in today (the old one got stacked on another during a mishap in install and they tore apart)
then it will be running great!
I am now running the longtube 4-1 header and catless dp as well as i swapped to a k&n filter and Penn grade oil (organic partial synthetic 10w30)

so ya...I have a working car again and if i have no problems maybe ill get to enjoy it
and now I have a whole spare motor plus extra hahahaha

what do you thing to run a lsj on our setup

2.4 TB is great on a 2.2, maybe lsj TB is greater on our car.

i can get one and the zzp plate for almost nothing
