i was being sarcastic. i dont know which oil is best for these applications. i used toyota's 0w20 when pushing 220, and switched to motuls 5w30 when i raised the power to 255. winters coming, so i dont know if i should switch to an 0w20 or stick to the 5w30

Would castrol edge 5w30 fully synthetic titanium a3/a4 be compatible for a turbo build brz ?

Genuine Oil from Subaru directly isn't expensive. Just keep changing your oil every 3750 miles "6035 Km" max and you'll be fine. The blow-by I'm getting is crazy

Got my oil report back. Ill be sticking with Amsoil 5-30 on this engine. I dont know about going 10k miles with track season coming up, but I like what I am seeing. No idea where the silicone content came from.
