I'm running Brad Penn 10-30 and so far so good. I don't really feel a major difference, if any at all, from switching from Mobil 1.

Well I only ask cause the shop changed it when they put the kit on the car I have always ran royal purple before boost but I only ask cause they said go away from full synthetics and I've always thought they would be better

Don't use Royal Purple. And search. There are a good amount of oil threads. You want an oil with a high amount of Zinc or ZDDP and also a high TBN. Amsoil, Brad Penn, Redline, and Rotella T6 are all really good oil. I've have also heard that Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5W-40 is actually a pretty good oil.

You know that oil you were using before you were boosted? Keep using that.
