Okay so since I know nothing about cars I'mma hijack this thread. I thought Neons didn't have chokes because they're not carbuerated.

I use Mobil 10W-30 Full synthetic (not the extended performance) and a K&N Gold oil filter. I ride it hard so I change my oil at the regular interval of 2800K. Thats cuz I also drive very long distance home too every other week too. I like it, good oil.

yeah all my customers bring it in all the time because it's the cheapest synthetic and they don't want to pay our price (mobil 1).

I've taken the car to our auto mechanic.Troythinks that a valve seal has simply gone bad. He doesn't think my choice of motor oil would have made much of adifferance but did say he wasn't a fan of extended oil change intervalsBTW.
