I broke down and ordered the Descendant Turbo Kit, whoa! Can't wait but question, I hear the oil that come with the Scion's is a synthetic blend and is pretty good.

Should I just get the same oil from the dealership and replace it with their or go full synthetic?

Betty is gonna finally get boosted!

 

use synthetic, and since your turbo-ing it i suggest oil change every 2000-2500 miles, to keep things running smoothly.

Ive heard horror stories of 5000K oil changes on Evos and STi's not good


places like http://toyotapartszone.com

sell a synthetic blend, since i live basically 3 hours away from a toyota dealerships. this is my only option haha

 

i run a full synthetic like lucas royal purple enos stuff like that is where its at i change my oil every 3000 miles still runs clear and i am pushing mad power i also replace my plugs every oil change just for good measure you know

 

You are going to wear out the spark plug holes changing them that often!

 

but if your gonna change every 3000, why not the synthetic blend? is this a preference or necessity?

 

synthetic is more stable and less likely to break down, keeps lubrication good and prevents gunk build up. I change oil around 2500K miles. but yeah go full synthetic

 

Yeah thats totally not necessary Cory. If youre 1 step colder change every 15-20k.

 

i check my plugs every once in awhile especially during tuning.. i use a torque wrench though to make sure its not over or under tightened

 

i switched to copper plugs 2 steps colder and considering my car has 12000 miles on it not to worried the iridiums are not my cup of tea since copper plugs went in have had zero issues

 

synthetic 10w40 or mobil 1 10w30. Change every 2000ish miles (what i did). Nothing like draining oil that looks brand new. (a waste but priceless for ease of mind)
