Superchaged- which oil weight?
Which oil weight should i use? The normal that I have been using like a Castrol syntec 5W30 or are you supposed to change it for supercharded applications. This is a JRSC on a B16A2.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Not supercharge related, but force induction related. Some turbocharged guys still run 5w30. But me I'm running 10w40, just because I feel like it.

try the "recommend oil page" at http://www.opieoils.co.uk and specify everything about your engine and what mods you have too. he'll suggest the best (full synthetic) oil weight to keep it in good shape

Yeah I'm w/ that other guy, I'd recommend running a slightly heavier oil (10w40) b/c of the FI there will be increased stress on things and a heavier weight oil can spend more time cooling things off....
