FP Red / Black Users Oil Rec

In case you don't read the 1-9 forums here is a note from FP about oil for the red/black.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...about-oil.html

Wow I just read the pdf from FP and they are saying no mobil 1 in their stock appearing turbos.

I guess from reading FP's note they are saying mobil 1 is not what it used to be. It has been watered down to meet emission standards and that has lowered the quality.

Exact reason why I have been using M1 0w-40 (SM certification), does not meet the GF-4 certifications.

It last 5k miles on my FP Green per oil analysis results, said I can run over 6k miles and it would still be fine.

Note, FP Green uses the Brass bushings.

Did they explain why your IRON are in the double digits, although it has seem to be decreasing with time which is a good sign.
