All this means that I believe, after researching a lot of 
information, the best oil for my DeLorean is Valvoline SynPower 5w-
40 (I live in NJ) and the best filter is a Hastings or NAPA Gold oil 
filter (I have the elbow on the oil gauge sender to make room). If I 
lived in Minnesota or Arizona I would use the same thing.

I change the filter every time I change oil â once every twelve 
months or 6,000 miles.

Harold, 

you are right on about everything that has to do with oil and reading the 
weight lingo and such, but i think most owners are convinced that the purflux 
filter is a better match to the engine than either Hastings or NAPA Gold. Do the 
ones you use have an anti-drain back valve? if not, you could be wearing your 
engine down every time you start it for just a few cents savings!! i have 
never tried either of those two.
