Do you run a oil temp gauge?
How often do you change the oil in turbo setup?

A lot of ppl run 15w40 for turbo setups along with 20w50

Saw a few motors wipe out bearings with thinner oil rather was NA or boosted

Oil is changed every 1000 miles or so and sooner if ran hard at the strip.

I'm still cracking up that you recommend T over T6. $36 at Walmart for 7 qts.

And for comparison, I ran 20-50 VR1 in my turbo setup.

While im not FI or anything, I will chock another one up there for Rotella 15w40 conventional.

I run that in my bikes and the clutches LOVE the zinc. A lot of threads or magazine articles usually end up saying they use thicker oil and most use Rotella. It's certified for motorcycles too. Love that ****!!!!
