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. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51960 |

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.
