Sorry if anything like this exist but I can only find NA oil threads.

As title states, I am wondering what type/brand and weight oil you are using and with which setup SC or turbo and what kit parts.

Reason for this is I have a KW c38 supercharged 2013 brz and am wondering for what type of oil I should switch if any.

I would love any analysis you guys would have had done also to help illustrate the oil's performance and type of driving you typically do. (Also I'm from Canada and will drive the car in winter too but would like to stay away from liquid gold if possible)

From what I know right now a good choice for my next oil would be 5w30(lots of FI seem to be running that grade or 0w30 of oil with good results for DD cars and light track use).

Don't need a flame war but any recommendations, advice, help or what to stay away from would be greatly appreciated.
