Im gonna try to put in at ct20b turbo in today and was wondering what kind of oil i should use in my 3sgte. Its got roughly about 73,000 miles on it. I plan on running it on 8psi daily and 13psi racing. Any suggestions? Also, i dont want to run synthetic because of its high mileage. So what brand? weight? and quantity? thanks guys : )

BTW, I switched to synthetic last night. Although the weight of authority suggests that the cleaning agents in synthetic oil can break down sludge build-up that may be preventing a leak, I have read a number of posts from people with over 100k on their engines who have had no problems switching. I was paranoid about it but made the switch anyway. There is no doubt that a good synthetic oil is MUCH better for your engine longevity.
