    Advice on Cadillac with 4.6 Northstar...

    Hey everyone, I've searched and searched but haven't found a whole lot on what people prefer on Northstar-powered Caddy. I'm about to buy a 97 STS from my parents with about 160k on the clock. My dad uses Dino oil (whatever's cheapest, unfortunately. Usually Meier's brand oil) and I was hoping...
