I run Royal Purple too. I mix 3.5 quarts of 5W-30 and 3 quarts of 10W-30 for summertime. I guess that equals 7.3W-30. lol... It probably doesn't matter too much anyway. I do it for piece of mind.

A good quality ENGINE oil, not diff oil, hydrollic oil, mineral oil. I havent switched up my oils in this car. In my old 92 audi S4 turbo which i beat the **** out of id switch to mobil 1 15-40 or castrol 15-50 in the summer. If i didnt the lifter would tick like a mad man because of the high oil temps from the turbo when driving hard.
