http://www.shell.com/rotella/products.html A 40 grade oil is too thick, unless you have built internals, IMO. Rotella 10W-30 is probably a good choice for break-in though. Some boosted guys are using 0W-20. They're just using oils with robust base stock and additive packages instead of jumping up two viscosity grades and experiencing unnecessary drag.  http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1180901 -Dennis Last edited by bluesubie; 01-06-2014 at 03:39 PM. |

Motul 300V 5W30.
I wouldn't recommend a 40 weight at all. |

@CSG Mike
Where peak summer temps reach maybe 90-95 degrees max for say a week would 300V in 0-20w be sufficient for FI setups?? Avg ambients daytime summer being 75-85f and 35-55f at night.

I've been running Motul 300V 0W-20, it got pretty dark after 4-5k miles. Should I run something a little heavier?
