need help with lsvtec turbo

[punkr6]

wanted to know is there a recommended weight because someone told me that if its to thin vtec wont kick in so just wanted to know is that true is 10 30 good for my set up or what

you can run anything from 5-30 to 20-50, vtec works on oil pressure not oil thickness....Valvoline makes several different weights in their turbo oil. I would run 10-30 in the winter and 10-40 in the summer. Its really up to you, 10 people will tell you 7 different things. I personaly worked for Valvoline for 13 years bottling and mixing oil, if you live up north where its really cold you would want a thin oil for those cold morning starts, but in Ga. you can get away with a thicker oil just about year round...

Oil will get thinner as it warms up, But thats where your vtec pressure switch comes into play. pressure builds with RPM's ...
