What oil do you use?
Just wondering what brand and specs on what oil everyone uses. I have an sr20-det and was told that u shouldn't run synthetic in these motors because its bad for the turbo?? Just wanting some opinions because id really like to be running synthetic.

Ive always been fond of all of royal purple's products... but theyre hella expensive. If ya got an sr, go for it... or at least some good mobil 1 synth. I never use anything BUT synthetic.
