Electric motors don't have oil in them ,therefor I don't use oil in mine .

10w30 or rp

All I know that all you guys running 20w50 should be real careful as far as fluid dynamics go that stuff is thick and really sucks for lubricating until its real warm.

It used to be old school thought that running thicker for high power motors is better but in actuality it is not. Especially with BB turbos imagine trying to squeeze oil through the constrictor to sufficiently lubricate that nice BB turbo of yours.:wall:

My dual BB turbo has an oil restrictor because it doesn't have to have a film of oil to ride on, so I will take my chances.

I am breaking in on plain jain valvoline 30 weight for the first 1500 miles, Then I will be using 15W40 Royal purple.

15W50 mobil 1 seems to do well in all my cars especially in the summer..

10-w40

turbotalon1g · Dec 17, 2007

5w-30 most of the year and 10w-30 in the summer.

Mobil 1, i get it for about 2.80/qt so why not.

How??

15-40 Royal Purple since it's getting cold outside, otherwise 20-50 with PureONE oil filter.

I'd use AMSoil if it was more readily available.

1941galant · Dec 17, 2007

I use 10W30 or 10W40 mobile 1 in my cars with stock motors, and 20W50 royal purple in my cars with built motors.

mitsubishizero · Dec 17, 2007

Redline or Amsoil

Cheap oil is ok too just change it offten.

JamesH · Dec 17, 2007

QS High mileage 10W30. Have some slightly leaking valve seals so Im hoping this will help with it temporarily.

talon167 · Dec 18, 2007

10-30 Mobile 1 in all my cars, 5-30 in the winter. $20/ 5 quarts at WalFart.
