    i use royal purple 20w / 50w but my car leaks to the shit so i just use whatever a servo has untill i pull my motor out cause RP costs to much to keep topping up

    sprinterman86 will always over any oil recommend mobil1 full sin 10/30 or thinner nothing else

    imo its best to have a leak in your sump because as long as you check your levels and keep topping it up you alwase have new oil in there my engine takes a flogging as a drift/weekend car and its looks brand new on the inside btw i have a 4age bigport fairly stock
    the dyno pull to 300rwkw

    BT20v is making 300rwkw like i said i would without nitrous so now its time for some spray and see if she will run a 10s or less

    If you really want to see how your oil is performing. Drop down to a CAV/Caterpiller dealership and ask for an SOS kit, it will cost around $50, next time you drain your oil take a sample back to them, they will analyse(this is included in the initial cost) and will give you a full run down on metals etc found in the oil.

    They use this to determine oil change intervals and any wear in the engines/gearboxes etc on their product.

    even if you only do it once for the novelty aspect, you will be amazed at the information they give you.

    oils have ratings for a reason the way i see it and i was explained to by sprinterman is that for eg 15-30 is a fairly thin oil compared to 20-50 witch is a thick oil used for motors with minor knocking noises as the engine wares over time you have growing gaps in bearings witch is where the thicker oils come in on a new motor i would use 0-15 Mobil 1 then at about 100,00 id go a little thicker 15-30 royal purple then at about 200,000 id go for 20-50 royal purple but it comes down to how you treat you engine and what you do with it
