FI Z's what Oil are you using
I just wanted to know what everyone is using. I don't care what brand because everyone has something to say about Brand A vs Brand B so lets limit that. Put in the brand if you want. I just switched to a heavier oil and man what a difference i can tell. I don't know if im trippin or if I can really feel the difference with a different weight oil.
Was running 5w 30
Switched to 10w40
Feels awesome.

Mobil 1 Full Syn 10W-30 year round.
Considering a switch to Turbonetics oil though. After reading their article on it it seems pretty good. Then again I'm paranoid about my car....

Turbonetics 5w-30....Came with the kit. I'll probably use Mobil1 at the next oil change just because it's readily available.
