Mobil one synthetic 5w30 is what i use and i think its recommended and what i believe comes in the car stock. I've got stage 2, 2.9, ported blower, full exhaust and intake.

Royal Purple beats all the competition in every test anyone you have ever heard of has done. It's win/win.

ive used mobile 1, valvoline, and this "ENEOS" oil... i thought of tryin royal purple but i really like this eneos brand... its supossedly a really high-end japanese race oil and it actually looks and smells different than the others.. that really doesnt mean anything but theres obviously something different about it and really like it.. engine seems to run way smoother... you should def check it out..
