I use 20w 50 valv. full synthetic on my motor and turbo. But, it's because of the motor and the build we did with it.

I have not even had a chance to enjoy the build yet. I work all the time right now. I'm saving for the 1 inch gm chain before it goes down the strip. Everything else is built about three years ago on the tranny. I have 3.29 gears with 7/8, or 15/16 chain. Heck, I forget. I bought them used with about 500 miles on them. But, I'm saving for the new chain, and getting the tranny refreshed and then it will hit the track. I also have a huge tranny cooler about to go on at the same time.

I know the feeling of saving for parts. I'm still working on saving for the turbo. Then I still have to pick up injectors, get tuned, have the headers re coated, wideband, oil feed kit, cam, little misc parts.

It seems like it never stops. My wife hates it.
