Re: best oil for turbo setup (weiRtech)
AMSOIL series 2000, 0w-30w, with Hastings filter. (best filtering that I could find)
I was told by dyno shop owner that Precision recommended not using low viscosity synthetics (0wt,- 5wt etc.) because it would promote leakage around turbo seals. I still use it for better eng. protection. I do have some oil loss.

Re: (95gainfla)
I use Mobil1 but Im going to switch to AMSOIL 10w30 Turbo Formulated. I want to see for myself if its really better then Mobil1 as far as performance and gas mileage.
