Will do. Ill do much more research. Thanks to everyone for the patience and I guess my questions are a little premature, sorry about that.

For instance, please don't ask what kind of oil...
Yeah actually I was asking for advice on how to determine what oil is in it now. I found this on another forum but Im not sure how accurate it is... "take one drop from dipstick and burn it if it smells like popcorn or soybeans its synthetic."

And I realize the engine is older but Im also going by this I found in the oil changing guide, "if synthetic oil was the only type of oil that your engine has seen, I usually recommend sticking with it." But Ill research a lot more...

Not at all - gotta start somewhere! I was just using oil as an example, btw. I did see that your question was about what type you have and not what type to buy. Wasn't meant to be a shot.
