    With your JRSC setup?

    Wouldn't a thicker oil protect better on forced induction?

    Cool

    I run pure Penzoil synthetic 5W-30W with Pennzane (developed for the space program and used by Nasa). If your in a hotter area of the country, or summer, you could go 10W-30W or 10W-40W. I would definately go synthetic, especially with a super or turbo charger. Your oil is your engines lifeline!

    I run Redline 5W-30 all year... and MTL in the transmission. Lucky for me it never really gets very cold here.
