What Oil to use here
Hi guys,
I plan on getting some Redline full synthetic for my car, however does it matter if its 5w30 or 10w30?? the car is not a daily driver, however I do put on about 150 - 200kms a week ripping around the city.
Any suggestions as to whats best for the engine?
Thank you,

Good question. I will have to double check in the morning, however I've seen a few posts now of people running both. Is there any added benefit with choosing one over the other?

Mobil 1 EP, Amsoil, Redline, Motul...all good oils...0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30, they all do they job, it's a question of minutia increases in performance

well i live in chicago so it does get pretty cold in the winter if youve ever been to this city you know what i mean and i ran mobil1 synthetic 5w30 in my 99 Si for all 7 years that i owned it and it seemed to be ok other than it seemed like i burned alot of oil. i heard something about that with mobil1 on a thread on this forum so i dont know what it was.
