DaveF

it doesnt matter, just make sure you change it more than regularly.

I've always used semi synthetic...best of both worlds...

i always use synthetic b/c supposedly it can withstand higher temps before it breaks down....although that could be marketing bs..idk

I've always been a big fan of synthetic myself. It basically builds up an extra layer of protection on the cylinder walls, so why not use it to lubricate and extra-protect the turbo IMO.

its not.. there a reason why only synthetics offer wider range multi visc. oils.. therea are couple decent conventional but its worth the money for full synthetic

this is what we run in our dragcars. Royal Purple Racing 41 doesnt get contaminated nearly as easy as compared to other oils(we are on alcohol also) and our oil has never come out looking like coffee

its always purple and smells good too


always run castrol GTX in my street beater
