where are you from? like whats the temp there? is it a daily driver or a race car?

i say cant go wrong with a 10w-30 for normal applications, if its really hot (like during the summer you could use a 10w-40) If the car is raced or drifted a lot id run a 15w-50...others will disagree though, kinda a matter of opinion.

weather has huge roll. but usually when running a turbo its better to use a heavier oil since turboed engines tend to run a lil bit hotter then most cars.

I live in washington and was wondering if you ran 15-50 would it be bad to drive your car with that during the winter? If i use 10-40 would that work for all year round and still hold up to racing and such? Thanks in advance for your help
