The second one mate, you don't want fully synth for it, change the oil every 5k and you you won't have a problem, get a grease gun and grease all the nipples on the drive shafts and any others you can find, from memory there are about 6.

I have had my 3.1 for 6 years and it has not missed a beat in 60,000 miles it has 92000 on it now, and it gets treated like its on the paris dakar very often, then it does 1250miles in a day at 90mph turns around and does it all over again the following week. fantastic motor.

As above. the 3.1s is little trouble, although for £1.23 difference in price there's not much to choose betwen either.


If it were the 3.0DOHC engine instead I would say the opposite as they are very fussy on oil, or more likely I would of told you to push it off cliff before it racks up any big bills
