different oil for turbo setup

04-10-2004, 07:21 PM

I was wondering if people with turbo setups should change to a 10w40 or other heavier oil than the recommended 10w30 since the heavier oil will be more resistent to the exsess heat. Has anyone tried or thought about this?

Try posting this in the Forced Induction portion of the forums, and ask Tiago. Tiago seems to have the lockdown on the turbo'd V6 F-bodies.
