So who's running amsoil, fp red?

Well I've searched around and I've decided to be switching to amsoil 10w-30 I have a stock block but I'm running a fp red. I just wanted some feedback from amsoil user's with a red turbo stock motor

talk to fp about there turbo oil recommendations

i was told to run 20w50 oil (brad penn 20w50)

because of higher levels or zinc, and phosfrous (sp)

to help elongate the life of the bearings in the turbo..

search there is a whole thread dedicated to thesubject..

i ran 20w50 brad penn little thicker but whatever i can do to help my turbo last longer i will

also i ran e85 at 26 psi no problems / shaft play

I use synthetic Rotella T 5w-40. It has a much higher ZDDP content than M1 and is inexpensive.
