just curious what brand/type of oil are you forced induction guys using?

thanks

 

- Royal Purple 10W30
- Castrol SynTec 10W30

 

i will be running Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 10w30 when my motor is finished

motor: Built B16A

 

used to run castrol syntec 10w30.

switched to syntec blend 10w30 with more frequent changes.

 

Castrol partial synthetic 10w30 every 1500-2000 miles using a honda oem s2000 filter.

 

I was running Castrol Syn 10w30, but noticed my oil pressure was a little on the low side after warm up. Switched to 10w40 and now the oil pressure is much better at idle.

 

i been experimenting with different weights. was using castrol syntec 10w-30...but for the past couple oil changes i been running syntec 5w-50. seems like the best of both worlds...gonna stick with it for the summer i think...

i change my oil every 3000 miles

 

Castrol GTX

 

I run bardahl 5w30... Thank god to our sponsers because at 17 dollars a quart our family would be eating mac and cheese

but any top end "blend" or OEM Blend seems to work great too.

 

Royal purple 10w30...found out the hard way that 5w30 is too thin....

 

thanks for the replies, looks like im going 10w30, castrol syntec.

anyone else want to share.

I use Castrol syn 10w40 with lucas oil stabilizer.

 

what about non synthetic oil ? can i use this in my boosted car

 

I use regular Valvoline 10w30 here.

 

Castrol GTX 10W-30 non synthetic is all my motor gets.

 

have used all from valvoline 10-30 - durablend 20 - 50 to royal purple racing one... royal purple is from my point of view the best...

interesting, but thats a pretty ignorant comment. I've ran 5w30 for over 2 years and many many trips to 10500 rpms (600+ hp)and have never had a problem, in all of my cars.

 

I use 10w30 mobil 1 during the winter and 20w50 synthetic blend during the summer

I also tried mobil 15w50 full synthetic before i siwtched back to castrol syntec 10w30. The 15w50 was way too thick for my liking. It had alot of valve train noise on startup. Too much for my liking. I used it when it was 70+ out too.

 

Vegetable Oil!!!

Sometimes Corn oil..


mmm makes me hungry everytime i drive...sizzling oil

 

mobil 1 10-40

 

Quaker Q-Advanced full synthetic 10w30 on B18b @ 7lbs. feels mighty smooth to me.

 

AMSOIL FTW!

 

Valvoline 20w50 is what I use. I've read that the ingrediants that make an oil multiviscosity are what makes a oil have a low coking point and that single viscosity is better for turbos without water cooling.

 

i am running Valvoline Racing syn 10-40 now but was running the non syn racing 10-40 only switched cause needed and oil change and ran out of the non syn. Both are rated non street legal due to both having zinc and other friction reducers.
