oil weight for forced induction
 
What oil weight are you FI guys using? Reason for why I am asking is because i don't know if a heavier weight is safe.

Some of you may know that I have been using a custom blended oil for a while equivalent to 5w 30. I still haven't sent my oil in for analyses even though its sitting the a test bottle. here is the thread i created.

^ This!

I'm considering switching to Mobil 1 0-30 or something else off the shelf.

IIRC, @jamesm uses Mobil 1 5-30 with no issues.

I plan on using either the 0W-30 Motul or a good 5W-30.
