what kind of oil do you guys suggest using in boosted cars? i live in missouri, its pretty cold in winter and can get hot in the summer, if that matters.

 

I used Royal Purple 10w 30 Full Syn, Was good, but bank

 

well im using 5w30 right now, i just installed the turbo a week ago. after searching, it was pointed out a couple times that 5w30 is no good for turbo. some people said 10w30 gtx, mobile 1, ammsoil.

but id like to get more feedback on this.. thanks

 

mobil1 10w-30 full synthetic

 

phuhhh ... just regural 10w-30 for like $1.15/bottle

I go with Mobil 1 10w-40 because I live in GA = hot . Mine is like $1.18/bottle just do oil change every 3k miles and you're ok ... As I'm thinking at the moment, you can go more that 3k miles .. depends on your engine

 

I run Castrol Full Synthetic 5w30. Seems to me the thinner the better as long as its not burning and my ***** still kickin, Im OK

 

well ive decided on 10w30. but still not sure if i should use synthetic or not. im leaning more towards it because of the heat factor though...

 

Honestly, if I had a new motor, I probably wouldnt run synthetic. I would just run el cheapo fossil oil and change the bitch every 2k for 1/4 the price.

I probably just gave the 2 worst oil advice quotes ever. But hey, I do what works for me

 

hmm okay rory was no help hah. anybody else suggest different oil?

 

i used 10w-30 mobil 1 syn with lucas oil that **** helped consumption and reduced the smoke it put out.

 

i like to use mobil1 synthetic becuse the turbo gets so hot that some oils cant stand that kind of temps. And i change it every 1500 miles.

 

im leaning towards mobile 1 synthetic 10w30...

anyone else?

thats the best, I know alot of ppl who use it and im going to start using it when my next oil change comes along. Great oil but alittle costly. Also use 10-30 and youll be fine. add some gauges if your worried.

I burned M1 10w30 Syn more than I burn Castrol 5w30. Mobil tends to disappear quickly in my experience. Just food for thought.

 

Amsoil 10/30 full synthetic. Good stuff. Change it once a year.

Depends on the oil temps ...

230-255F Mobile 1 15-50 Full Synthetic
180-230F Mobile 1 10-30 Full Synthetic

 

Quaker State Advanced Engine 10W-30.. that or Mobile 1 Full syn...

 

another vote for mobil 1 full synth.

 

Synthtic oil don't smoke. So if your engine or turbo has problems, you won't know.

Someone said oil change once a year? Must not be a daily driver...

 

i went ahead and put some mobile 1 10w30 full synthetic in it. cant wait to drive it.

3k is what you read or what someone tells you, no one reallys know when to change there oil, send your oil to the lab and see how much it breaks down and how much metals wear, one guy on club rsx showed that as he lowered the grade the wear was less and also realized its a money scheme when Honda tells you every 3k.

Myth
