A lot of people like Penrite HPR 15 which is 15W 60. It's got you covered for summer and winter and you wont get much better than penrite. Anything with a viscosity range of between 15 and 60 is fine. You won't wanna use anything too thin on an engine with 200,000 on it though.
hey mate,
+1 for penrite, i've run a few different oils but penrite rips them all. with those k's you might even want to go for a HPR30.. bit thicker with more k's, though if the motor is in great condition n strong the HPR15 will be sweet.
Cheers.
I use royal purple..im just concerned about the thickness was wondering if 20w50 is too thick. Engine is also in great condition but i do want it to last as i'm supercharging it.
me to +1 for penrite 15
If its got Wheels or Boobs its gonna cost ya money
My car loves Penrite HPR30. It states on the label that it is a replacement for 20W50.
