    92z34 engine wiring diagram needed

    Been searching around for a wiring diagram for a 92 z34 so I can finish repining the firewall connector. I can't seem to find one on here, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. If anybody could help me with this I would be most appreciative.

    5 OR 10 W 30 Oil for 3.4 DOHC

    5W-30 is as thin as a 5 weight at 0 degrees F. It's as thin as a 30 weight at 212 degrees F. As opposed to stuff you don't see much of--5-30 with no "W". "5" weight at 32 degrees, 30 weight at 212. Have you checked the zinc level of the Toro oil? First Guess: It's whatever they could source in custom-printed packaging cheaply, that's not a bit different from mass-market oil. Given the weak valve springs and hardened followers of the LQ1, "high zinc" is not on my list of priorities.

    5 OR 10 W 30 Oil for 3.4 DOHC

    After or around 200k I've always switched my oil to 10w30. It gets real cold in Canada so 5w30 for winter. My Buick Century with 3.8L got over 250K with not one problem ran great, very quick.I got over 350K on my Cutlass with 2.8L MPFI never touched the block or heads it had a bit of blow-by but never smoked out the back.Currently my Lumina's 3.1L has just turned 253K and runs awesome. No blow-by, no oil burning, not even a leak. Although in my opinion the 3.4L should have always had 10w30 and you should probably use synthetic; although switching can possibly create leaks, possibly!!! The Twin-Dual is a very complex motor a puts a lot of stress on all the systems of the car, it is not one that takes well to neglect. Routine maintenance is the key with these motors; I've seen many trashed by 100k very sad to see cause these engines rock.
