Re: Turbo makes my engine oil heat up and thin out
It is my dd but I don't drive much since I'm in school right now. I'd be interested in getting Royal Purple, but I don't know who sells the ----. I'd really like to fix my oil leaks though. I assume it's all coming out the VC because the main seals are dry, but I could be burning oil I supposed.

Turbo is an egay special so it aint water cooled and I think I regret that
What have some of you done to solve this?
On top of that its nearing freezing hear in the mornings and it still gets hot as ---- under that hood

Re: Turbo makes my engine oil heat up and thin out
seriously-
every honda motor ive ever put a turbo on has had between 10-15psi of oil pressure at idle (after being fully warmed up.) And i think the spec for every honda motor is 10psi at idle and 50psi at 3k. Oil takes a while to heat up, when i start my car in the morning, it always takes a half hour ride for my oil pressure to drop down to 13psi at idle. I wouldnt worry about it no matter what oil your running.
and whats the name of this wal mart ----? That sounds like my kind of deal right there

Re: Turbo makes my engine oil heat up and thin out
If theres little pressure, and the oil is too runny, run thicker oil. I wouldn't buy into royal purple hype just for a stock, or semi-built engine. Unless you have like a high dollar engine and can afford that ---- then go for it. I don't believe it's bad or anything, but I think a lot of poeple run it who don't really need to.
When my z6/IHI heated up it had like 10psi at idle. That was with 10-30 mineral Adv.Auto oil.
