Oil Choice *SEARCHED*
Ok I have searched through 50+ pages and found very little useful info. I am stock turbo (for now) have normal bolt-ons (cams, exhaust, etc.) I beat on my car very rarely, just a lot of ghey hondas around. I live in Mid-Tenn where the winter gets into the mid low teens, I DO NOT DD my car. I want to stay with Mobil 1. Should I stick to my 5-30? I have heard that Mobil 1 0w-40 is good. What about the Valvoline VR1, which is best suited for me? Thanks

0w40. The 5w30 mobil 1 isnt very good.
|
very appreciated thanks {thumbup}
|
I use amsoil sso 0w30 because i'm in mn we get to -30ish sometimes with wind chill. Plus someone ran their sso to 12k miles and then did a test and came back good so i'll continue to run this stuff.

If you want something over the counter and easy to find 0w 40 mobil 1 or royal purple 10w40 they have high zinc level in them but royal purple has alot more of it in it..
|
40W is good and the VR1 is awesome but you dont DD and you dont beat your car also only bolt ons so i would stick with 40W
|
sorry 0w-40
|
L@Ncer06 at what point would it be good to use the VR1? What would be good for the FP RED?, prob what ill get. Again Thanks
|
for fp red and black 10w-40 amsoil
|
It would be good for when you upgrade the turbo like u said also if u DD or any other mod to the motor IE cams rods pistons the thicker motor oil helps especially if ur always flooring it
|
You could use low weight Brad Penn products which have the zinc and phosphorus like the VR1 and Amsoil dominator oils but seem to be more cost effective. If you can find it. Don't run these if you are using a cat. Apparently they degrade the cat rather quickly.

Have cams, no cat. What about the Mobil 1 10w40 4T (motorcycles), at least for after my turbo upgrade, its on FP's List... for now its 0w40 Thanks for the responses
