My 9-5 had what I thought was a need for valve work until warmed up. Turned out that there was a missing exhaust manifold bolt. The one at the upper right looking at the engine from the front of the car. The gasket turns brown after such a leak occurs. The bolt was replaced after some difficulty and broke again. It was determined that the manifold had warped so new manifold was installed. Other than a few tousand miles on dyno oil when I didn't pay close attention to what was being used, Mobil 1 is the product in the car. Started Winter use of 0W-40 as I get out of Florida in the Winter. When I use 0W-40 gas use goes down, from 30-32 mpg to 35 mpg. Engine is rattle free and has no vibration. Good luck with your car!!!!!
