What oil
hi,
maybe a verry stupid question but what oil do i need when i'm going to turbocharge my car ? My euro ZC is running on syntetic 10W40. Is this good enough for my turbo ? |
Re:What oil
try to get the thickest synthetic oil you can.
|
Re:What oil
why the thickest ?? could you explain ?
And won't it harm my engine ? |
Re:What oil
I use regular Castrol GTX 10w30.

Re:What oil

Re:What oil
regular oil hardens in the turbo alot easier than synthetic. atleast that's what i've found out here and just by common sense that synthetic has way better stability than regular oil. if regular oil is working good for you then keep using it. aslong as you change the oil before it gets as thin as water then it's ok i guess.

Re:What oil
let's not turn this in to another oil fight. bottom line is synthetic is better for the turbo, yes, but worse for the engine. i would rather replace/rebuild my turbo than my engine.

Re:What oil
Why is synthetic worse for the engine?
|
Re:What oil
it runs about 15-20° hotter than conventional oil
