Oil usage with turbo.
Hello I have the Blitz Turbo kit.I'm taking the car out of storage and it's maintenance time I was originally using mobil 5W-30 due to that being the most agreed upon oil to use when running a turbo.But i was wondering if i should go with the manufacturer which recommends 10W-30,10W-40W or 5W-40.The car will be DD.No track,autocross or wild driving.

Yep.
If the turbo manufacturer recommends 10w-30 or what ever, I say go with that. It's not much of a jump from 5w-30. |

Anyway, the lower the first number the better protection you will have with a cold engine, the higher the 2nd number the better protection(to a degree) you will have when hot. Now you just have to figure out what your max and min oil temperature will be. Oil viscosity in the turbo is a lot less important than in the engine. |
