Just ordered Torco SR-1 10w30 synthetic oil. I want to see if I can tell any difference from Mobil 1.

And he also saw spool a little bit quicker and an increase in boost without adjusting anything. It also seems to run so much smooter. Im not sure if i am gonna use a 0 weight though for the summer. Out here in AZ it gets up to like 115-120 during the day in summer. I dont think 0 weight is thick enough for that.
0W is good for cold climates, however the 50W at the end of the spectrum is fine for hotter conditions. You'll be fine. 0W-50 encompasses the entire viscosity spectrum 10W-30 covers.

In the Evo I've ran Mobil1 10W30 on my first change, but will move to Amsoil 10W-30 for it's 2nd change.

My other cars all see Amsoil extended drain intervals

Used Mobil 1 since day one. Switching to Amsoil when the new turbo goes in. Probably 10w-40. If it's good enough for AMS, it's good enough for me.

I have used Amsoil, Mobil 1, and Royal Purple. They all felt the same, and they all have a reputation for being top notch quality. Mobil one is the cheapest by far, so thats what I have settled on.
