hi guys just a few different questions

1. what should oil look like when i drain my catch tank?

2. where can i get a oil filter and what oil should i use for my tunned pinto i have heard pintos suffer from poor oil feed to the cams due to small oil feeds and thick oil being used.

3. how do i find out what pinto i have so i can buy the correct filter?

1. probably won't look great - might well have mayonnaise type stuff in it. this is because the hot oil mist condenses and as it cools it draws moist air in which also condenses. Nothing to worry about though.

2. get an oil filter just about anywhere I don't think they are different between the various models. I used to use a semi synthetic in mine - one suitable for older engines - not too thin.

3. Have a look on the side of the block for some large cast numbers 205, 165 or similar which will tell you which block you have.

Cheers
