Castrol 20w-50 in summer and 10W-40 in winter, is best in my opinion.
It is high detergent, to remove sludge.
The thinner oil, like 5W-30 is only for better mileage, but cause piston and camshaft wear.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the answer!!!"

5w 30 is the best oil you can possibly use especially when you're talking synthetic such as mobile 1 ..if you look in the manufacturer's book of specifications it recommends using 5w-30 all year round

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE PIN IN THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED. OPEN THE DOOR YOU WILL SEE THE PIN THAT CONTROLS THE LIGHTS AND CHIMES (ITS IN THE DOOR JAM)AT THE BASE OF THE PIN IS A FLAT SCREW TURN IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE THIS WILL ENABLE YOU TO ADJUST THE PIN TO THE RIGHT HEIGHT ONCE THE CORRECT HEIGHT IS ATTAINED TURN THE FLAT SCREW CLOCKWISE TO LOCK IT INTO PLACE. THIS SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

I have a 1996 Caddy Sedan De Ville with the Northstar engine. Where is the oil sending unit or does it have one?

The oil pressure sending unit is behind the front engine mount. You will need a deep special oil pressure socket to remove and install.It is NOT an easy task. There is no short cut but you might find it easier to remove the oil filter adapter, if you do that you should replace the "O" rings on the adapter. The oil pressure sender is mounted on the filter adapter

1989 Cadillac Sedan De Ville engine stalls when air is turned on...tries to take off when stopped at stoplight..sometimes dies while driving..

It sounds like the idle compensation circuit for the engine is dirty or faulty. Have your car checked at a shop. have them check the idle air motor for dirt or malfunction. It could be that it only needs to be cleaned or replaced.

The compensation circuit adjusts the idle/slow speed of the engine. The air conditioner puts a load on the engine and this circuit adjusts the engine speed to compensate. Also, when the car is cold this circuit adjusts the idle speed to prevent stalling and help the engine warm up faster. I hope this information helps you.
