8300, Oil Posted by z1pp0, Sep-12-01 12:03 PM
whatsup? just a quick question, i should be running synthetic oil when i get that turbo installed right? Should i gradually switch to synthetic or just do 4 quarts all at once? How often should i change?
One heat range colder than stock plugs right?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

For longevity on the turbo as well as your bottom end, i'd go with full synthetic on your next oil change. Do all 4.5 quarts at once.
Yes, on heat range colder plugs are considered better, as they remove mor eheat from the combustion chanber, reducing the chances of heat induced detonation.

NGK BKR7E-11 plugs are what most people use. Gapped at .035

An oil cooler helps too.
