I'm going to move this to "tech". You'll get more help there, for sure.

BTW: This is a link from my engine builder: http://www.raw1performance.com/index.../Page1229.html

I've been using Mobil-1 full synthetic since I've own a turbo 4 banger... about 7 years now. Although I've heard that Royal Purple seems to be better......
