    Also, fwiw, Geoff of Full-Race recommends 10w40 for turbo k series as the 40 weight helps with the added stresses of the boost, but he also lives in AZ where it never really gets that cold so they can get away with a 10w.

Bobistheoilguy.com has a TON of info on all kinds of oils, if you really want to do some research that is a great place to do it. I like the rotella because it comes in the 5w40 weight, which is something that is not very common, it is readily available, affordable, has good additives, and the people on bobistheoilguy really like it
    Great thank you very much . I'll be sure to look at the site you posted and read up to get my knowledge up.

    For those who have cold, snowy winters, I would recommend running 0w-40. Reason is that when its cold outside & your engine is cold, you want your oil thinner, so it can get to your vital components quicker. The 40 is recommended because operating temp is going to remain relatively the same, so you'll still need that extra protection, even during the winter

    whats up guys need a little help. Didn't want to make another thread on this being that my question has already been brought up. I have a fully built sleeved K24 with a Z1 head, I am about to strap on a GTX35r on it. The motor has about 1800 miles on it since the build. I've been using conventional oil for the break in. But now the question is what brand and what weight do you guys recommend for me to use now me being boosted? I have used brad penn 20w50 in my fully built 720hp evo, it was pretty good. Lots of evo guys use it and love it. Now I'm not sure if it was on here or k20a, I seen someone say that they use brad penn 20w50 on there boosted K and recommend it... what do you guys think? need a little help especially that my eg is almost done... thanks any input would be appreciated..
