Type of Oil to use for TurboII
I've been wondering for a while about what type of oil to use in my TII. I still havnt made up my mind. What i really want to use it Mobil 1 with Syn. Though I've been reading some bad results Syn, does to your engine.
"The nature of non-synthetic oils is that they leave a slippery residue even after a combustion process. This residue is what hangs around inside your engine to keep the apex seals "WET" Synthetic oils burn too clean to lubricate the compression seals in a rotary. Once it ignites, it's gone."
"Common thinking about synthetics was that they "lubricated better, could withstand more heat and still remain oil & suspended contaminates longer"
What brand/type of oil do you guys use? Maybe give me some suggestions thanks

Stick with a quality, brand name dino oil, and you won't have any problems.  I prefer Castrol GTX 20W50 or Shell Rotella-T 15W40 myself.
There is no reason to go synth, unless you like wasting money or you're running some super duper 500+ hp breathing monster.
