For your supercharged applications? My engine builder recommended I use 20w 50 for my vortech s/c'd 396 LT1. This sounds kinda heavy/ thick for the supercharger. Whaddya think?

Thanks,

It probably the LT motor part. LT1's have really bad oil pressure. Even after the rebuild on them.

 

I run 5W30 Mobil1

 

My engine builder also recommended 20W 50. I would guess that turbos and superchargers could use whatever the engine is using. The manufactures of them cannot control the oil used in the engine, and as such must design for all oil types. I'm not worried at all.

 

whatever you run just add some Lucas to the mix!!!

 

That stuff really works?? My buddy always ran it but he ran dino oil...Will it help with full syn??

 

Lucas, isn't that glorified gear oil, lol.

I use amsoil 10/30 turbo stuff.
