Redline 10-30.

Won't use Mobil 1 again since it isn't fully synthetic anymore. Mitsu recommends fully synthetic oil. My Evo "feels" better since switching to Redline. I'll be trying Amsoil and Motul also.

eneos 0w50

Royal Purple was smoother and torquier than Mobil 1, and Eneos was smoother and torquier than both. It's more expensive than both ($10/qt.) but I think it's worth it, especially after seeing the dyno numbers.

Listen to this guy. Mitsu has done so much R&D on this thing and knowing how they're gonna be driven, I imagine they have good reason to recommend this.
