I been looking all over the place to find what type of oil i need to use for my evo.. Summer is comming up in Arizona and the temp gets up to about 115 degrees and im wondering what type of oil is OEM for my car...

Any help???

Thank you!!

 

Mobil1 is OE, says so right on the oil cap.

I recommend M1 High Mileage, 10w-40 for summer months. 10w-30 is OE weight.

 

Wow! 115 degrees F. ambient air temperature is truly cooking. I would advise fitting your car with an oil temp gauge so that you will be able to monitor your oil operating temps. Cars that experience higher oil operating temps require a higher viscosity oil. As oil operating temps rise, oil gets thinner.

 

If I lived in AZ I would upgrade the factory oil cooler to a larger and more efficient aftermarket unit, such as, the SETRAB P/N 50-625-7612.

If I lived where you do, I would run a motor oil that is better than Mobil1. Myself I like Motul 300v. Either their 10W-40, or maybe even the 15W-50. The stuff costs about $15/Qt. online. Sure, there are other good oils out there.

Also, you might want to look into the Tomei ThermoKiller.

 

I have used nothing but AMSOIL in numerous cars over the years with nothing but positive results.

 

i would stick with mobil 1

 

Yeah 115 degrees F. is a normal summer day in Arizona so an upgraded oil cooling system is for sure something im gonna look into getting... and as far as the oil goes i might just use a thicker oil like 10w40 for the summer.. And im looking into different types of oil and what would be better..

And an oil temp gauge is something that i am getting as well.. Im probably just park the car as much as i can for the summer...
