Default Best oil to use

I'm going to do an oil change on my 94 scooby running an import engine with tdo5 turbo but want to know what the best oil to use is and how much I'll need to do it.

Speak to Alyn at AS Performance. I moved from a very popular and widely used oil (within Subaru circles) to royal purple and I'm very impressed. I won't be using anything else

Hi

Does it go on track? Any idea what sort of power it's making?

Cheers

Yes it was the millers, my reason for moving was nothing to do with all that rubbish that went up with the gloopy stuff about it recently. Unless I experience something like that myself I take these things with a pinch of salt.
Due to the way in which my car gets used and for what I use it for, during its very regular inspections and oil changes we looked at the condition of the oil and wanted to try something else. The car is under very high loadings constantly for short periods, on and off on and off.
Wanting something a little more focused on competition usage I spoke to Alyn
After strong recommendation we went royal purple and are very happy with what we are seeing, it seems to be coping better with what we are doing with the car.

We run millers Cfs in the jdm new age road car no problems and will continue to do so

Running Liqui Moly Synthoil Race Tech GT1 10W-60. But I'm from Portugal, where we have 40º in the summer, and I do track my car.

For the ops choice, the 'best' or even what you think is the best is not needed.
A correct grade will do him.
