Weight of Oil when Going Twin Turbo?
Hey guys, i searched and came up with nothing.
I also read the sticky, i didn't get a clear answer with everyone posting up different weights? Why?
I run Amsoil 5w30 in my car now. When i go to the APS TT kit, what oil weight should i run? The car will be driven in temps below 32F (sometimes in winter) and mostly on nice days 40F+, at the drag strip, and maybe road course ( twice a year ) if i grow some *****. So what weight do you guys use and why?
Also, im getting the APS kit wich comes with a bigger oil pan, which holds up to 6.25 total quarts now, do you guys full all 6.25 quarts or just 6 qts?

I wouldn't put that much oil in your car if your running the APS TT...With the APS oil pan on the TT you only need 5 1/2 quarts and that includes putting a new filter on. Remember your oil only needs to go to the LOW level on your dipstick with the APS TT...This had been discussed and agreed on many times in the past. Mobil 1 Syn...10w40 for me and no problems

10w/40 is probably a good happy medium though.
