Hey all, I will be taking advantage of this labor day sale on Lap3usa's website and ordering a tune come Thursday, my question is what brand 5w-40 oil are you guys running? Or will that really matter as long as it's 5w-40? Thanks!

 

[R1600Turbo]

Most will recommend Motul 8100. I would go that route if it's easily available to you. Personally I do not want to have to order oil off the internet every time I have to change my oil, so I have been running Castrol 5w40.

Alright, thanks for the help! I work at a dealership and get my oil for free and I'm sure we have 5w-40 in there somewhere so I'll see if we have any.

As long as you are running full synthetic or 100% synthetic any 5w 40 oil will do just fine. I am currently running some castol edge and its holding up well, currently on a lap3 ethenol blend tune, for the xcargot turbo kit they have. Check out my build if you want info on it XD

whats wrong with the factory recommended 5w30?

Because Lap3 recommends you use 5w40. There's also a TSB out in Canada recommending 5w40 be used in GDI cars.

Website says 3-4 weeks, David told me they could probably do 2 weeks when I talked to him last week. I am also placing my order soon, but not until the 21st.

Got my order in last week. Dave says about 3-5 at most.
