Default Rotella T6 5w40 Y or N

Looking to change oil now that I'm going Turbo. I see evo guys like it but what about in our cars? Anyone using it in a Turbo car?

Want something I can get local. Ordering everything gets to be a pain. I live in a small village ...yeah not even a town lol at least this I can pick up at a local Walmart. I ran rotella in my R6 but never in any of my cars.

I ran Rotella T 15w-40 in my nitrous civic for 45k miles with no prob. My bro runs it in his boosted civic, no prob for 15k miles. I now run the Rotella T5 15w-40 in my AP1 and have had no problems for almost 10k miles. I have never ran the T6, but I would trust it if I did. Plus, you cant beat the price!

edit: Btw my AP1 is NOT boosted.

we run rotella 5w40 in a number of cars, it works pretty good. No complaints.

We normally use amsoil 5w40.

I like Amsoil but the Rotella is very easy to get and half the price. I just wasnt sure if the weight would be alright for running in a turbo S2000.

I've ran Mobil 1 5w30 my whole s2000's life. And i've had it brand new since 2002 off the show room. Been comptech Supercharged since 2006 at 8psi and 12psi since the beginning of 2013. And it's going to be turbo this coming spring. I think i'm going to stick with Mobil1 5w30. Unless anyone else recommends something else. Mobil1 5w30 has been good to me though.

I think it's at 70,000 miles now. I can't quite remember.

I didnt like the Mobil 1 in my last S. it would tend to burn it. I was Comptech SC'ed last summer at 405whp and used valvoline synpower stock weight and it did fine with the blower. I just know the Rotella is a much better oil. I will give it a try i think.
