Default What oil weight are you supercharged Folk Using?

Just curious for those who specifically feed their headunit oil from the engine whether or not you changed to a heavier weight oil. I'm currently using Mobil 1 / 10w 30. Assuming the headunit is heating up the oil a little bit would it be a good idea to switch to something a bit thicker?

Yea, I was thinking about that when I read his "self-contained" oil statement... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I switched engine oil from 10W30 to 10W40 to hopefully help with any increased main bearing loading.
