What engine oil is needed
Just bought a Evo 9 RS...mod and tuned to almost 400BHP. Can anyone tell me what kind of engine oil I should use? The dealer serviced it with Mobile 10W30, is that sufficient for a 400BHP car?

You should be fine with any of the major manu brands 10w-30. I've ran M1 both regular and high mileage (currently in the car), Pennzoil Ultra, AMSOIL, Q Horsepower. They're all good.

Mobile 1 10/30 is good. Others will call for purple or enos or... As long as your fully synthetic and at the right weight your fine.

Go to Forced Performance site, look under info, oil supply line, FP oil requirements. You may change your opinion of oils. Unfortunately my phone won't let me link it here.
