Recommended oil for 94 Cutlass

[NibCrom]

My wife has a 94 Olds Cutlass Supreme (don't laugh, it's actually pretty nice ). It has about 125,000 miles on it. Any recommendations when it comes to using oil? An extended mileage oil? Synthetic?

I used to have a '92 Cutlass Supreme. I wouldn't waste the money for synthetic. Just a 10-30 is good enough.

any oil made today is tons better than what was made 15 years ago. No need for synthetic - IMHO

at our shop (MN) we use 5w 30 all year long... we mainly work on older cars, usually at least 5 years old, but most of them are 10 & older. I put Syn in my bros 90 Buick Century, but that's cause he get's the oil super cheap...As for the high milage oils... I really haven't done any research on them...on my civic with 160,000 miles I used Mobil's normal 5w30... it burned about a quart every 3000 miles, but that's it... I never used a high milage oil.

No laughing here. I had a '90 Cutlass Supreme, if I could have any of my old cars back I'd so pick that one! I miss that thing, it was cool. Or even better, if I could pick up one of the convertibles from that era, man those were sharp. But anyway... Yours have the 3.1 in it I take it? I just used normal Pennzoil 5W30 in mine, it had 140,000 on it when I regretfully traded it in some 12 years ago.
