What oil do you use?
I have a 2006 GT with a Greddt TT kit. I have only put about 3k on the turbo kit and only have 7k on the car. I have only used Greddy GR2 (5w-40) oil which is now discontinued and no where to be found. I called Greddy and was told that Mobile 1 (5w-40) or Motul (5w-40) would be ok for the Greddy turbo's. I am so worried to use the wrong oil. I looked and Motul has like 3 or 4 different 5w-40 engine oils. I am not sure which to use. I would appreciate information from other members who have used a specific brand and weight for a long period of time. Please no dumb comments. I spend a lot of time and money in my car and only want the best. Sorry if others feel its stupid to ask such a question. Thanks, Robert

Educate yourself and choose whats best for your conditions/vehicle. Everyone's results/opinions will be different. I ran Royal Purple on a stock block/TT setup (track/drag/street) with no issues. Some hate it, some love it....

Yeah, theres a bunch of threads with the same topic, kinda of overwhelming information if your researching oil, gotta actually take your time going over everything and what the oils consist of and why, etc....
My favorite is Rotella T(non synthetic, they have a few weights, you pick), or Rotella T6 5w40(synthetic).

Mobil1 0-40 is fine for street use. If you track the car then I use motul 5w-40 in the summer months and change it frequently between events (call forged ask for tray they will ship it to you and answer your questions )

tried mobil...would lose a quart every 3000 miles
only run Torco 5w-30 or 40 now...6 quarts in..6 quarts out less a few ounces..car runs fantastic on it..529rwhp and 500 lb ft.
three 118 mile road races @ 5000rpm for the majority of the way and going to the 4th race this April..

Not sure if this info was posted in one of the previous threads, but thought I would pass it on.
