 The results are in!  
The results from the poll show that most of you felt there were too many forums. The most popular choice, by far, was to consolidate them into chassis type, so that's what I've done.

Please let me know if you find any problems or I missed anything.

Thanks to Eric, for giving me a little kick and getting me started on the conversion.

Well my 93 rarely gets driven but all my maintence(sp)is done regardless.Ive been using Kendall 10W-30 oil since new(Cant find it anymore).I change the oil every 3 months which can get kinda costly during the time the car is up on jackstands. What synthetic motor oil do you guys recomend?If I switch to syn oil can I go longer than 3 months between oil changes?Help is really needed beacuse an oil change is coming up this weekend. Thanks in advance. Paul
P.S. Robert what are the dues again for the newsletter?It will be due next month

I've used Mobil 1 since the second oil change. Since I don't drive the Cobra much anymore, I change the oil once a year, at the beginning of the season.

I've been using different flavors of Pennzoil since the first oil change. Thicker weights for track excursions, and thinner at all other times. But track days have ended. I've been happy with the fluid change at the beginning and end of each season. Which reminds me, once the cooling system is back together, it's oil time....

I use AMSOIL in just about everything. I usually change it in the begining of the season. They have excellent products from oil to filters to grease. I am a dealer in case you need anything (cobra@monmouth.com).

Just changed to Mobil 1 motor oil.I think in the long run it will save me some money. The oil I took out of the car only had 1 mile on it and was still clean. Thanks for the advice

FWIW I use Havoline 10w30 in my car. When I rebuilt the motor last year at 174k miles, all internal parts were very clean
