Engine Oil recommendation on TT Setup...

[Hitani]

For those who has a TT setup, what do you use for your engine oil ? My fbo 18 has always seen the full synthetic oil from Ford dealer, and no issues. Should I stick with that on my (soon to be) TT setup or change it to something else that is better for the turbos ? Hellion recommending HPL Synthetic oil. What's your opinion and thoughts on this ?

0w-40 mobile 1 euro formula only because
A) I can get it in the 5 quart jugs to make disposal easy.
B) Mike said the euro formula oils are good. Lol

3-4k intervals for 35k boosted miles so far.

Euro spec acea a3/b4. My favorite is pennzoil platinum euro 5w40, but at the moment I’m running mobil1 5w50 due to vct phaser cotrol.

Valvoline euro 5w40 here.

Is it helping?

Yep. The exhaust cam phaser solenoid would go to 0% and the cam would still lag way retarded presumably due to the extra drive power needed for the xdi pump, but only when the oil got hot. With the 5w50, the oil retains viscosity better at high temp and it works now.

Rotella T6 5W-40 or PPE 5W-40.

X2 for Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40.

I would use 5w-50 for turbo's. A bit better protection especially at shut off.

Penzoil Ultra 5w40 or Castrol Syntec A3/B4 0w40. Both you can get for like half the price of what the dealer wants for a basic Motorcraft blend
