Re: Potential Buy 1997 GSX

95% of the cars on the road today - in the arctic to the burning heat of the equator - run either a 20 or 30 weight.

I think you need to figure out why your car runs at over 206 degrees constantly.

Already have am idea on that, and its the fact that 1/2 of the coolant lines are gone. And the water pipe behind the turbo is just welded shut at the end so its not a flow through system there, instead it just hits a wall and then has to reverse course I guess causing extra time getting heated by the turbo.

What? The end of your water pipe is the return to the radiator, if you don't have that, I'd drop your car off at the previous owner's house immediately, because he's a moron.

Getting rid of the heater core is no big deal, I didn't have one for years, never had a temp issue.
