A Take 5 technician will help you identify the correct viscosity based on your vehicle’s manufacturer requirements and individual needs. 2008 was a subpar season for Force who finished 7th, out of the top five for the first time since early in his career. Should the engine backfire at any time during a race, the fuel pump is automatically shut down, and the parachutes are deployed.

For those who typically drive over 5,000 miles between oil change intervals, synthetic oil is the best oil for your driving needs. The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations address driving habits and conditions to determine the most responsible drain interval for you to follow.
