Oil recommendation for modified N63TU

itzjoker · 06-08-2023, 01:30 PM

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times but I am looking for recommendations for my driving situation.

Currently have a 13' N63TU w/ 85k miles with catless downpipes and BM3 Stage 2. I run e30 quite often. Always used Mobil 1 FS 0w40 with Ceratec or MoS2, 3-5k mile oil changes with no issues, other than it seems to get thin quickly. No leaks, hardly burns oil. if any, in between changes.

I live in Ohio and this vehicle is my daily driver. My daily commute is about a mile (10-15minutes). Car usually gets close to full operating temperature when I get there (outside of winter). I drive the vehicle pretty hard around town otherwise. May run at the 1/4 track few times during summer.

I plan on upgrading turbos and running WMI. Kill tune 700whp+, daily tune will be on BM3 Stage 2 with ~550whp. I was thinking of running 5w50 for better protection for increased power but worried about 5w50 with my short daily commute. Would appreciate any thoughts on this with my current driving conditions.

I have similar mods and in Boston, I run 5/40 which doesn’t thin out much, I also use mos every change and ceratec every third change. Knock on wood, car runs good.

Curious, anything done to run e30? Also are you running stage 2 93 Ots map? I am really interested in any info you can share as well as pros and cons if any?

Nothing needed to run e30, just mix some e85 & 93. I have all maps for BM3 (e30 included). But I like to run e30 with my 93 stage 2 OTS tune to make sure the tune is running optimally and occasionally the e30 tune. Have had zero issues. No cons whatsoever.

Mobil 1 has a new oil out for the new High Performance engines.

Mobil 1 Super Car oil 5w50 with a higher level of ZDDP....1200ppm....the 0w40 does not have as much ZDDP....only 1000ppm.
