I am installing a FP Black and people keep telling me different stuff about what oil to use. Anyone have any advice?

 

Fp has a reccomended oil list on their website. They speak very highly of brad penn oil for their turbos.

 

I've used Mobil 1, amsoil, brad penn, and royal purple and my favorite is amsoil

 

I am just woundering if Brad Pinn is good for the engine as well as the turbo.

 

With the high content of zinc and phosperious, it acts as armor for the bearings in high rev applications such as what we run in our evo's. They tell you to run it for the fact it was created for such applications. Amsoil is really good oil as well I use to run that but with what I've learned from various speed shops local that is all I will ever run. I will run amsoil in my truck or in my camaro or any other non high rev car, but Brad Penn is the way to go with high reving motors.

 

You can't compare brad penn to a true synthetic, this is like comparing a Honda to a GTR

 

you should changed the title to Amsoil

 

I'm not sure what synthetic has to do with it? I'm talking about which oil is better for the turbo and engine. If I was going after synthetic oil I would use Mobil 1

 

Your correct I compare $5.30 a qt and good for high reving cars compaired to $11 dollars for the fully synth version of what I am using.

 

Not to be rude mobil 1 is garbage I wouldn't put that in any of my cars and sad thing is all of them say to use it.

 

-Mobil 1 garbage ummmmmm no.
-Added zinc and phos levels needed in your 4g63 or any engine manufactured these days ummm no again.

 

hahaha AMS oil. Its amsoil, use that or mobile 1. Or search. Probably half the threads on this forum are about oil

 

Thanks guys

 

Mobil garbage, maybe calling it junk is not politically correct to say,, but who flipping cares of political correctness I don't

Mobil has failed to serve the performance industry over and over they have proffered to serve the tree huggers instead and it make sence to them to serve the tree huggers aka greenies simply because that is where the majority of the market has, this is a great hot topic over by the camaro folks with L99 and LS3 engines running 600 plus hp, the engine builders for these V8 monsters have noticed the excess wear in the internals of their customers who were running Mobil 1, hence once again proving how important ZDDP is for the internal health

 

Show me I hear you talking but that's about all as usual. Oh and guess what factory fill is on the GTR you mentioned previously. We've been down this road. Mobil 1 will not cause premature wear of your engine period.


Do us a favor and go back over to Camaro land and push your product we are sick of hearing it. Better yet go join a Veloster forum it's a new car so you can probably hoard all of them like sheep
