I run the Royal Purple and it does my Super High Boost engine no problems at all.  If you're running low boost I would suggest a 10w50 or 10w60 oil from any of the major manufacturers.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

If your not going to use it I've used Fuchs/Silkolene in my engine for about 20k and it uses barely any oil and when you look at the cam lobes through the oil car they are as smooth as a smooth thing. I suspect I will continue using that or similar motul type oil in a lowboost engine. 10w50 btw. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |
