What Oil Weight Are You Using?

[Si Speed 317]

boosted technically run high mileage since they are pushing twice as much.. hence why high mileage is ideal for turbos although changing it every 2.5k-3k miles still required.

I thought turbo guys typically run extended performance. Anyone else chime on this?

So what's your guys take on that ENEOS 0w20??

0W20 is way to low. OEM recommended oil weight is 5W30, so going to a lower full temperature weight is not a good idea. We should be running at least 5W30, ideally 0W40 - 5W40 according to my tuner. I'll see if I can get him to chime in.

Just for everyones information, this is what oil weights mean:
Let's say you're running 5W30. The W stands for winter, the 5 is the weight of the oil when you're engine is absolutely cold. The 30 is the weight of the oil when your motor is at full operating temperature. The weights of the oil don't actually change, it's the viscosity that they correspond to. Meaning 5 is the viscosity your oil corresponds to at cold start-up, and it ranges to 30, which is the viscosity your oil corresponds to at full operating temperature. Hope this clears things up!
