    Oil period isn't going to give you a boost in HP.

    The only way oil is going to give you increased HP is by reducing rotational friction so much that the engine actually measurably spins 'more freely' with that oil in, I would be more so worried about the proper weight of oil for your vehicle and needs.

    Oil has a very minor effect on HP...... 1-2hp maybe..... 15... absolutely not. It would have more to do with having the correct weight and not over filling your engine than it would oil type.
