As title really
i'm needing to do an oil change next week before it goes for mapping.
Previously i have used 5-40 Sikalone pro (titan) but on a forged build would i have to go with another grade?
car is used on weekends and for fast road use and some track use (1/4 mile and track days)
Any suggestions as oilman has a good deal on for this weekend

Always used the silkolene pro or mobil1 myself and had no problems.
TOTB 2010 Rwd top speed, 1/4 and shootout winner.
10.7@142 on R888 street tyres, 10.3@134mph on slicks,
9's on slicks to come, with a clean full throttle pass! Goal of 0-150mph in a 1/4 of a mile....

Shouldnt a new build be run in on mineral oil before changing to fully synth?
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] What oil? Forged build big turbo
If hes getting it mapped i would presume the engine is already run in

Silkolene pro R always did me well... although the new Gulf stuff is good, and reasonably priced.
