what oil to use
 

what oil is the best to use 20w 50 10w30 ect. just thought i would ask

Re:what oil to use
 

I rock 10w30 in the summer and 5w30 in the winter....Mobil 1 Supersyn

Re:what oil to use
 

last oil change i did i used 15w 40w mobil 1 synthetic, it got black and thin in less than 2000 miles. i check the oil
rather than going by milage for when to change it. this time i put in walmart brand 20w-50w cause the synthetic was a rip off and it looked like crap after less than 2000 miles. guess oil gets older quicker in a boosted car.
edit:i live in south florida and it's a hotter climate than up north where you'd need 5w-30w oil. the 20w-50w seems to work better, i can even hear the turbo spool louder after i did the oil change.

^^^^Like he said. You need to run a little lighter oil for the winter comming up. If you live in the south, then ---- it.

20w50 for me as well. Southwest FL.

Re:what oil to use
 

20w 50 in the summer, 10w 40 in the winter, 5w 30 all seasons if no turbo is involved :P

15w 50 mobile 1

Re:what oil to use
 

i always run castrol gtx, or syntec if im feeling rich, or sometimes the blend, but always 10w30.

we usually get about 80 degreee summers with some hotter days up to 100, and winters are pretty cold, it snows like 1 week a year if we're lucky.

Re:what oil to use
 

5-30 Castrol Syntec (only because its free) ;)

When I actualy buy oil, I use 0-20w Castrol GTX

Re:what oil to use
 

if you live in a hotter climate, only run synthetic oil
mobil1 15w-50w. i ran walmart supertech 20-50w and it absolutely sucked. synthetics the way to go. but a good oil like castrol non-synthetic will work good too.
