hey guys just wondering whats the best oil i can put into my evo ix with an fp green... motor is not built and i have couple of bolt on parts

thanks

 

using Valvoline Racing Synthetic 10W-30 VR1 i would also like to know what others i can use, i know mobile 1 is a DEF NO!

 

Nothing wrong with Mobil 1, it's a very good oil.

 

Is everyone becoming brainwashed now My goodnees. Mobil 1 EP and the HM are both extremely good oils and can be had easily. Hell you'll never have an issue with the standard M1 but both the HM and EP have a better package

Do some research outside of EVOm.

 

FP did a test and couldnt find why all there fp greens were going bad, it was due to the oil (mobile 1) thats why from fp i was told not to use mobile 1 oil.

There is the list buddy the ones highlighted in yellow are recommended and it seems like amsoil line has some of the best oils for the FP turbo

 

Thought these only were Red and Black related failures as the greens use different bearing material that does not need the high zn and phos levels. If so ok add to the list another turbo I'll never own

 

you are correct sir,, FP will void our turbo warranty if we use anything other than their approved oils.

look at FP's reccomendation from a standpoint of experience, they have seen more turbo failures than many others, and they discovered that what oils companies have been saying for years about high contents of ZDDP help with wear is correct and went ahead and addopted it into their process.


you will find in these forums a few that will swear by one oil, and are not willing to sit at the table and look at the data and weigh the posibilities of better oils for their engines,,,

I reccomend you look at the data on different oils, concentrate in synthetics with good reputation,

 

Nice info , I also getting a Fp green soon and would like to know more about this

 

thanks

 

which amsoil do you recommend? im using the valvoline vr1 but i would like to switch to amsoil as it is easier to get around me.

 

ch1215g,,, get the ATM 10w30 or the AMO 10W40 the 40 if you are planning on running the car a little harder at anything over 350 whp

 

im tuned at 367 whp so i should be getting the 10W40 looking to get into about 400-450 whp

 

also look into RD 10W30 its a conservative 30 and would help you with cold starts.

 

RD 10W30? where can i find that?
