What is the best oil to use?

With the price of a barrel of oil it'd be cheaper to buy a barrel.

I actually thought of doing that... But sadly it's still imported which means I still pay up the ying yang heck gas is ~3.45 cad per gallon around me. It's at an all time low we're not seeing it passed on at the pumps fully yet

I have a wally world nearby that sells Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5 quart for 27 bucks. That's the only oil I've ever run, and no problems at 42K miles. Essentially the same as PP, but supposedly slightly cleaner.

Sweet. What interval is everyone running? I've done several UOAs (Blackstone Labs) at 5k miles, and they said everything looks great, and to try 7k miles. But since I'm at ~380/380, I stick with 5k. On oil like this, I think 3k intervals are excessive...

Depends on how hard you drive...5-6k miles is pretty standard.

Not sure if I'd be comfortable pushing to 6k. The DISI is pretty dirty and oil is dark and smelly at 4k. I know dark and smelly is normal for these engines, but I like to have some extra margin for the sooty beast.

Some do, if you're not heavy driving. Personally I change at 3.1-3.7k miles as I'm km at do 5-6k km per change.

Same here.... Unless it's days like today where its -25.... Let the dam thing idle for a while before even driving away... No boost for me when it's that cold unless I've been cruising for atleast 30-40min

Yeah I'll still go hard in the cold, but only after coolant is up to 180 degrees. If it's super cold I'll be careful, but so far, I've had no winter over boost issues with my tune.
