  • oil viscosity and turbo

    I searched, didn't find anything :(

    Do any of you boost guys run more than 10w30 synth? Just wondering if there's a recommendation. I'm having leaks and im fixing them as i find them but it would be nice to use a thicker oil if i could [img]smile.gif[/img]

            15W 50 made a HUGE difference in the way my motor ran. Everything seemed sluggish. I could actually hear things in the motor that I hadn't heard before. Its WAY overkill if you ask me. 10W-30 should be perfect.

              I'm just wanting to try a thicker oil to cut down on the leaking until i can get my rear main looked at again. :(
