I almost forgot, do a full oil change, it probably doens't help but will help your engine in the long run anyway.

1) Buy 2 New Oil Filters (NOT A FRAM*) and new light oil, 5w 30 is nice and an equal amount of transmission fluid.
2) Mark your odometer on it so you know when to change the oil next
3) Drain Oil Completly
4) Put filter #1 on (this could be a Fram for all I care)
5) Fill up with Tranny Fluid and run the engine for about 20 minutes. This should clean up the engine inside nicely.
6) Drain Tranny Fluid out, remove wasted filter.
7) Put #2 filter on (I stress not a Fram)
8) Fill up with nice light 5w30 Oil (Synthetic of course).

That might help a tiny bit with parasite power at least, as well you'll be happy that your car has nice new oil in it.

*The reason not to use a Fram is they are badly made with a lot more paper and cardboard then the other brands. I would suggest using the correct NAPA filter for your car.
