We've been using Brad Penn for a while now. From the 500whp E85 cars to the 1300whp E85 cars.

Also, is 10W40 too heavy for ball bearing turbos? I thought I read that that weight was recommended for journal bearing turbos and 10W30 was for ball bearing turbos?
Still need an answer to this...

Next best oils would probably be Redline or NEO, then Brad Penn IMO. I don't know much about Rotella.

Thanks man.

But what about the weight? Is 10W40 too heavy for ball bearing turbos or is it ideal?

10w40 is perfect IMO. That's what I have been running in mine for the past 8 years.
