What types of oils my fellow G owners use for their forced induction set ups?
Can you please include the type of system you are running as well. Thanx!

Shell rotella synthetic 5w40

We use it in all of our farm semi trucks that have more than a million miles per engine. Rotella has rated one of the best oils by independent university testing.

I use it in all the race bike engines I build as well as cars. It's about half the price of any other brands as well so double bonus.

I keep hearing about this stuff- I've seen a few power users I trust swear by it and I'm intrigued. I'm running the 5w40 Motul 300V right now and probably for 1 more change- at least until I get a UOA done on it and see how it's performing.
