After specing the motor we decided to run 0-20w only until we do a full build due to the tight clearances. We chose Pur-ol and have noticed cooler temps and it has shown WHP improvements on the dyno over the other leading oils.

I'm just rocking 0-20 Mobile 1. I have no way of reading oil pressure. Might start pouring in 5-30 in the summer. I change my own oil every 2,500-3,000 though.

For cooler climates in general would the Motul Ecolite 0-20 or Enos Sustina 0-20 be perfectly fine? Minimal if any tracking involved and boosted.

Amsoil signature series 0-20w

If you have an oil pressure gauge that shows that you're maintaining sufficient oil pressure, and have performed 3-5 consecutive uoa's showing that the oil is holding up and uoa wear metals look ok, you're probably fine running those oils.

However, with forced induction, I would feel more comfortable running a street/race oil like Red Line or Motul 300V 0W-20.

It depends on your oil temps. If you have a cooler, you should be okay. Otherwise, you may want to use 5W30.

Ok good stuff. I'll be getting the SC etc through you anyhow so hopefully by that time JR has their OC ready as an add on for kit.
