I'm asking this question because of what the AMSOIL adviser told me. You love to make these comments don't you. Please read post.

The CSG BRZ is boosted, and runs 0W20 300V.

It probably also is driven harder and abused more than most cars here.

I'm a Moblie 1 fan boy and I say all ya'll are wrong.
My MR2 Turbo uses 10-30. Totally unrelated. Also Amsoil sucks donkey ****. And Motul goes in for the reach around. Cause I'm not a fanboy of them.

It's just oil. Put some than nothing at all

Ok, on my previous car, lancer ralliart I've used mobil 1 only and it seem to be alright. Also Mobil 1 is everywhere, I can go to almost any auto store and buy it.

AMSOIL sucks? According to most of the people in this forum, they love AMSOIL and MOTUL. I am no oil expert and don't know if these high end oils really out perform your ordinary oil you can get at any store. I only chose AMSOIL because of the people from this forum.

You missed the total fanboy joke. Also most people on this forum can't jack up their own car. So...............

Joking aside,
Synthetic oil is pretty much the same these days. Side by side test all prove they provide far better protection than conventional oil. Brand by brand, pretty much identical.

The question is price. An example would you want to pay for a jug $25 at any store or $25 online +$5 shipping. Then which fan boy club you want to try?

I been a Royal Purple fanboy before. But then I saw a hot chick in a swim suit that gived me a Moblie 1 t-shirt. Amsoil and mutol girls are fugly and don't give away shit.

[Mr_YUzU_FRS]

Hmm, if most synthetic are about the same then i might go back to mobil 1. Fyi i am also running flex fuel, mostly running e85, mobil 1 should be ok for e85 right?

Nope totally worng, you want oil from over weight little kids running on a treadmill. That's the only oil you should use. Nice and pure. Some hipster in a man bun told me so. You should too.

Joking a side, which info do you want to go on? from the company that did your turbo kit, or some sales rep?
Keep in mind your turbo kit is just an add on. The turbo will be happy no matter what kind of oil it gets as long as it has some.

[Mr_YUzU_FRS]

Yea i just went with mobil 1 5-30 because its convenient. Seems ok so far.

[Docmattic]

i've been using nulon 10w40 fully synthethic. I'm not 100 per cent sure its the best choice but my mechanic told me to use that or 5w 30. I got the 10w40 for a good price so that was that. might change next time.

Revival

Im JDL Turbo'd i am on 5w 30 Motul but I am going towing the brz to Colorado soon.

Should I switch to 0w 20 because of the cold?

Same here @CSG Mike except my buddies and I don't track our cars, but we weekend warrior it on drag races.

I've been running 15k boosted miles with the Edelbrock Kit using the Toyota Synthetic 0w20 Oil. Eventually I want to change to Amsoil 5w20 as for some reason 0w20 isn't available, but it shouldn't be bad at all.

Some of my turbo friends running the SBD400X, JDL UEL Turbo, and Full Blown Turbo, run this platform use 0w20 and 5w20 with success.

I suppose these oils are fine for us cuz we keep our power goals under 330whp and boost @ 12psi or less with oil cooler / improved fuel injectors/pump for support.

I am supercharged, on e-85, 50,000 miles on the car and dozens of track days. I just pulled the motor for a blown head gasket. I have always used PUROL 10-40 and the bearings looked as good as new.

That's a bit thick for stock clearances.

Do you know the cause of your blown head gasket? Typically it's either knocking from fuel starvation (common with boost + e85 + left turns on track), or overheating.

IIRC, you have some cooling mods.
