Its an older truck so I'm already scared of using synthetic oil, as it could make a small leak worse from what I've heard. Ive got brand new winter tires, but every thing else is in the air at the moment. There is no block heater installed on the 302, is that worth getting put on? I just need it for a few months until I upgrade to a newer version, what would you guys to to insure it makes it that far?
