29843, Would you guys recommend switching oil weights now???
Posted by RoboTechDSM, Aug-09-02 03:42 PM
Ever since I got the car, when it had 15,000 miles, I've always been using full synthetic 10W-30. Now, the car is a hair close 60K, with about 6,000 turbo miles. I've used the same type of oil ever since NA and now turbo, never had a problem. Would you guys recommend me switching weights, like 15W-50 or something like that??

Ever since I've been turbo'd, I try to change my oil every 2,000 miles now.

coo keep it up. change to 10W-40 if it's hot where you live. When I rebuild my engine it's nothing but synthetic that goes into it. May I suggest an oil cooler? I'm sure it helps out a lot especially if your turbo.
