Re: oil recommendation for turbo wbx
A lot depends on your agenda for the motor, but we are more spoiled for choice nowadays than ever before, just remember it's an old designed motor.
I use a 10/60 for mine as it runs WOT for 1/2 hour periods with good long pre warm up time, I use Gulf oil 10/60.
for street use and some drag racing maybe a 5/50 synthetic race oil would warm up quickly and ensure the turbo then gets good oil supply when cold.
valveoline VR1 is good one,
I've heard others run Mobil1 Harley Davidson oil, mucho to chose from as I said earlier.
