    I have a 98 gtp with 280,000 miles and i just recently put head gasket on it. I was just wondering with the high miles on it. What type of oil should i put in it. By the way i live in Arizona, so could i get away with using a thicker weight of oil???

    Did you just change one head gasket? Why did you change it in the first place?
