best oil??? 20w-50
whats up everyone??
my friend just bought a 93 base, the guy he bought it from told him to run vr1 20w-50 only, is there any specific reason he would say that, i think the manual says 10w-30. he has been running that for a awhile, so should he stick with it??
the car is stock exept for an apexi twin chamber bov

If it was my stock FD I would run Mobil1 10w30 in the winter and Mobil1 15w50 in the summer.
the Valvoline VR1 racing oil is good **** as well for a non-synth oil. A good friend used it religiously for ~30,000 miles and when his coolant seals let go and the motor was torn down it looked brand new internally.

huh, when we picked the car up, the guy said he put synthetic in it once and had tons of smoke out the exhuast ???
the car has 101,500 on the chassis, and second owner has paperwork from a rebuild 19,000 miles ago, though its unclear by the paperwork exactly what was done, the bill was around 5g's
is there any reason why it would eat the syn up like that??

no when the guy told us about this,and said it happened to him it was way after the rebuild, hmmm so the turbos are probably shady..
why would the turbos eat the synth up though?????
