Which grade of oil and company are you guys using on your FD?

 

I've been running Mobil 1 15w50 for almost 2 years now.

 

SJ?

Just kidding. I've been running Royal Purple Racing 51 (20W-50) and I've got some Racing 41 (10W-40) to try.

-Max

 

10w30 for the past 5 years on my FD using any major brand name.

 

mobil1 15w 50 is what i heard is good

 

castrol GTX 20w50

 

Same here, Castrol 2050

 

ahh a new female.... how old are u... and look batman... i got her first LOL

 

So in other words, it doesnt really matter

 

I firmly believe in synthetics for turbo'd cars due to the high temps in the turbo.

Was using royal purple 5W30 with no issues but due to cost I switched to Mobil1. With my new single turbo I got a bit of oil leaking into the compressor section with the M1 5W30 so I switched to M1 15W50 and no more oil leakage.

 

using mobil 1 10/40 now....switching to 15/50 at my next oil change.

I had your same setup and was very happy with Redline 20/50.

 

RX7.com says its gotta be 20/50.

 

10w30

 

Mobil 1 5w-50 ........ the best I have EVER run !

I learnt the hard way (I thank one of my competitors for letting me refresh his engine! "only run on M1 since new" ), only wish I found this product sooner

I was shocked with the reduced wear since that day 3 years ago I never looked back

 

M1 15W-50

 

I have been looking for a good source for Mobil 1 5w50 synthetic. I do believe that Jeg's here in Columbus carries it? Where do you guys source your expensive synthetics?

 

Try NAPA, Autozone and Pep Boys.

 

Thanks for all the replies It looks like I'll be going with 20w50 synthetic oil.

 

straight 50wt is the best , no thinner than 20/50 if you value your front main bearing!! i use Royal Purple nitro 51 in the race car and put straight 50 wt in cutomers cars.

I have heard that if keeping the oil squirters you don't want to use synthetic because of combustion properties...anyone have any more info on this?

 

That is ancient news. Specifically, ash content from synthetics, which is not what is was in 93.

RedLine Synthetic 10W30, shifting to Royal Purple
