I was wondering what type of oil does everyone using? currently I'm using mobil 1 10-40w. I have a greddy turbo and i'm looking for something that would last longer.

 

Mobil 1 10w-30 is what i use

 

Try not to ask any oil questions on this forum. It has been talked about 100000 times and always starts arguments.

I am switching from M1 10w-30 to Redline 10w-40. I have done a LOT of research on oil before coming up with this, and it seems to be a really good choice for FI applications. Not the only good choice, but a good choice. You have to order it online though, but it is supposed to be good stuff.

good luck

I would highlty recomend the following (2) oils which are availible at most automotive stores, read my above link for back ground, which does not included opionions just the facts.

Castorl 0W-30 is also in the same category

Look for oils that are not Energy Concerving and you will be better off.

 

I was using the euro 5-40 from Amsoil but at nearly $9 I felt I needed to try something else, just switched to the Mobil 0-40. Sounds like its a good choice so maybe i'll stick with this for a wile, my only concern was that it might be a little on the light side for summer. I was thinking 10-40 might be best to switch in the hot weather and then go back to the 0-40 in the colder months? I want to make sure i'm using the right weight oil for max protection for my set up.

 

No, the viscosity at all temperatue is better, the 0w is decieving

 

Interesting, well all oil gets thinner as it gets hotter. The 10-40 does appear to be thicker oil then the 0-40 cold, the 0 & 10 is the cold start rating, but wondering if the 10-40 would still be thicker hot do to its thicker cold characteristics over the seemingly thinner 0-40, thats how my thinking as transpired.
