Hey, I'm a new owner of an ST204, and I was wondering when adding and/or changing the fluids should I keep to the fluids recommended in the owner's manual, or if there are better modern solutions considering the age of the car? I'm talking everything: oil, trans, brake, coolant, etc. The reason I bring this up is because I want to change the oil, and I read somewhere that it's not recommended to use full synthetic, however if the car has already been given synthetic then it's ok. Unfortunately I forgot to ask the previous owner a lot of important questions, so I don't know if it has been given synthetic.
Any input and responses are greatly appreciated. |

Use synthetic, if it leaks after it's because things were in bad shape anyway and were going to leak anyway. Change the fluids, not doing so is more harmful.
