i dont see why not. i just use regular old valvoline

 

wow, ok thanx any other suggestions??? i daily drive my car about 50 miles to a from work and school so i put alot of miles on it

 

Run Mobil 1 0w-40, It's better to run a thicker oil when It's going to be exposed to the heat of a turbo.

 

i would search "oil" in the Forced Induction forum...if im not mistaken there are a few threads floating around on the subject already.

 

I run valvoline 10w 30 on my turbo zc. Done it for 6k miles now with no problems. I change my oil every 1500 miles tho.

 

0w40 is thin oil, what are you talking about

0w40 is thin when it's cold (the 0winter part) and thick when it's hot (the 40 part).
