Good to know I was gonna stick with 5,000 intervals until I read this. I'm using dominator 15w50 since I occasionally drive pretty spirited.

But I'm starting to think it's a little too overkill, since I remember you mentioning you guys always used amsoil signature 0-40 in most of your setups with-out any issues.

P.s what's the status on my charge pipes?
Im the one who returned the passenger inlet recently.

Dominator oil is too aggressive for a modern street car motor. It is extremely high in zinc and phosphorus and that is very harsh on oxygen sensors. It also is not recommended for extended drain interviews like on a street car its strictly designed for racing and caters to high horsepower built motors with increased valve spring pressure or old school carb motors. It is definitely overkill and you will do fine on signature series. (I'm an amsoil dealer)

How much is Amsoil? Can't find it in stores anywhere over here. Heard it's pretty top notch for turbos. I currently use Mobile 1 full syn

If you buy it online it is 11.70 a quart for signature series. if you become a perferred customer which is 10 bucks for a 6 month membership they are around 8.50 a quart. let me know if your interested. my website is Performancesynthetix.com

I know for sure that the NAPA store in Salem,OR has Amsoil.Check your NAPA store in your area.

Dealers go around and try and set up stores with retail accounts, it is not very common though so you will not see many of them and they are not on a chain basis. If you do find them in store though you will pay full retail price plus tax on that so better off becoming a preferred customer and having it shipped right to your door in two days.

Any time you add octane to your fuel is a great move for these turbo cars.I am using Mobil1 5w30 at this time,but Amsoil is a great oil and have used in my Harley in the past.

Not to thread-jack but I just installed my TS and only have a tune that Torrie sent me to account for the change. I haven't done any data logging, heck I haven't even taken it to redline because I'm waiting for the 1/4 tank of gas that sat all winter to go to empty. But, what I can tell you is that I didn't know how much I missed that low and mid range power until I felt it again. I ran the single scroll for the past year. The car feels excellent and I can't wait to see how it will feels once dialed in. If it still has the top end of the single, as Vargas advertises, this turbo will not disappoint.
