15W50 is ok if you're running into the colder months. I use 20W50 in the summer. Mobil1 or Royal Purple are my picks.

Doesn't synthetic cause death on your engines? I know someone who used Synth and ruined there car...rotaries just aren't made for that junk. Plus look at what the "real drag cars" use. Castrol and Valvoline. Castrol for the win here.

What the **** are you talking about. There is no problem running synthetic in our engines.



I use valvoline race oil, castrol is medium quality oil... I dont know any pro racers that use it...
