use valvaline if you are using regular and not synthetic. That's what i have in my mustang right now and am due for an oil change for my engine and my supercharger.

ya sounds like oil problems.

is it just when you start it up then it goes away?

I'd go to a reputable place that doesn't hire high school kids and have your oil changed again ASAP. I bet they didn't put enough in AND used the wrong type.

it does go away. i just had enough to get a basic oil change when i got it.

yeah im deff going some where else.
