Default Oil Recommendation for a 10-1 Compression turbo Motor??

I’m wondering what brand and weight of oil you guys would recommend for a 10-1 motor with a Precision 6766 Nissan SR20 Sleeved block with plans to run 35PSI Boost.

Thanks

Weight of oil depends on the clearances of the motor. Do you have those specs?

I would ask your builder about grade but I use and recommend Brad Penn.

Bring this back. For the guys running BP 20w50, are you using partial or full synthetic?

Rotella works for me, and much cheaper than BP!
