Motul 300v for built engines and massive boost 15w-50, and Motul 8100 10w-40 for stock engines and mild FI.

Any high quality synthetic oil should do, but I tend to run a little thicker oil with FI and built engines.

We started offering a 10% discount promo on Motul, and we never really got around to canceling the discount.

Call us Monday or order online...we'll take care of it for you.

I've been using Turbonetics TS-1 in my car for the last couple years... pretty good stuff with good results from oil analysis...
