Im gonna try to put in at ct20b turbo in today and was wondering what kind of oil i should use in my 3sgte. Its got roughly about 73,000 miles on it. I plan on running it on 8psi daily and 13psi racing. Any suggestions? Also, i dont want to run synthetic because of its high mileage. So what brand? weight? and quantity? thanks guys : )

First off, 73k miles is *not* high mileage for a Toyota motor. Synthetic should be fine.
What does the turbo have to do with what oil you are running? I'm wondering about the rest of the story here... -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon

I will be running higher boost than stock so i dont want an oil that wont keep the shaft lubed. thats why i wanted a thicker oil as opposed to synthetic. |
