    Question

    I've only got 3k on my 01 GSR so far. Is this too early to go turbo or its just fine? How much psi can i boost with safely with just stock everything? Also should i switch to synthetic oil on my first oil change? The dealer manual tellin me to oil changer after 3750 damn it seems freaky what do you guyz think follow the manual or just oil change at 3k? Thanks for any help. Which oil recommended? Numbers on the oil 10w-30? Or which?

    I change my oil on my NA B16 every 2,500 miles. I use Valvoline 5w-30.

    I changed my oil at 2800. Switched to mobil 1.

    I bolted on the JRSC at 3600. I did, however take it REAL EASY on the boost until after 5000. Only then did I discover my fuel pump was inadequate.

    Now I want a turbo....go figure.

    Boost. Finally.

    Cool

    i used to dump mad ca$h on mobil1 and expensive filters, etc.

    now i use castrol gtx 5w30 or 10w30 (depending on winter/summer) and use a puralator filter every 2000 miles or less.

    I do Mobil 1 every 5,000-7,500 miles...yes, that's right, I don't change my oil very often. I've been doing this ever since the day I bought my car with 12 miles on it. Compression is still 190 in all cylinders and she runs like a top.

    Castrol Syntec 10W30 + FRAM filter + can of Restore!. . .religiously every 3000 miles. Even with my conservative driving, I still get pretty black oil. I've only had my JRSC for about 4000 miles (62000 miles on my tach). Everything is running great!

    How about turboin is it still too early with a gsr that has only 3000 miles???? Also should I wait for the extra 750 miles to change oil or I should start changin it now? I've check and the oil still looks fresh. The dealer told me to change it after the 3750 miles any suggestion?? Well after the oil change i'm thinkin of goin with Redline but I'm not sure which number to get thats good for turboin or N/A for now turbo soon. Any suggestion????? Thanks for all the response that help me so far.
