    What Oil Weight Are You Using?

    Maybe we can make this a poll, or a sticky even. What oil weight are you running, what brand, and why? I've been using Mobil1 synthetic for a long time, now that I'm boosted I use Mobil1 5W30 (for winter), and looking for 10W40 for spring/summer/fall. Fully Synthetic btw.

    I use ENEOS 0-w20. (this is what I was told to run by the shop that tuned me)


    On another note I'd like to ask (sorry if this is thread jacking) what break in oil have you guys used and why?

    Break-in oil when you first get the car or install your FI system? Either way, I used the same oil I normally do. I used Mobil1 5W30 and switch to 10W30 in the summer. Your tuner telling you 0W20 is very low to me.. You should be running at least 5W30, my tuner advised me 5W40 but I can't find it anywhere.

    Side note: Eneos is friggin EXPENSIVE!

    More like freshly built motor. Whats wrong with 0w20? Too much of a race oil and not a streetable oil or what?
    I'm deff interested.

    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.
