Hissing is cause by the compressor when you try to activate the horn. But once it is dry up it should be ok.

I've used M1 for a long time and seen how the formula has degraded over time. Since I switched to Torco, I haven't gone back. The advantage of Torco vs. over the counter oil is this:
-Torco starts with a Group 4 or 5 petroleum base stock (so it's really 100% synthetic)
-Most "full synthetic" motor oils in the market is a 80/20 blend of synthetic and crude base stocks
-API SM rated motor oils are capped in terms of volume of anti-wear agents they can blend into the motor oil (thank you EPA, you fucking dumb shits)
-Torco, being a specialty oil company is not API rated and thus has more anti-wear agents blended into the base stock (notably: zinc, moly, and phosphorus)
-at $7.50/liter for SR-1, its priced very competitively with higher end synthetic oils
-It's made here in the good 'ol USA.

If you can afford it, Torco is awesome, and it'll even give you a tiny bit more HP than other oils. Do I put it in mine? I want to, but it's $$. I'm thinking about it.

I usually change my oil every 5.5-6k. But, I just get regular dino oil, and Fram filter for < $20, and do it myself.
