hi, trying to find the previous owner or at least figure out my new 2013 SHO

[bpd1151]

What oil do you guys run in the SHO's ?

RP HPS

"HPS is high performance street motor oil recommended for vehicles no longer under manufacturer warranty"

Great link!

Excise what you choose to, but read ALL THE REST OF what was/is published in the link.

I run RP HPS as well. I want my oil to have an add pack that protects turbo bearings more than the epa restrained oils that meet warranty requirements.

I did, and then I read some more...

"Improved compatibility with fuels containing ethanol
Patented additive technology prevents the white sludge and lubrication starvation that can occur with 20% or higher ethanol fuel"

As a bonus, it won't cause any issue with oem API certification.

Damn, no 0-30.

Man good info guys

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

On 2nd thought, I will just stick with Amsoil.

Royal Purple HPS ranked 118th?

 

[Black Coyote]

Why amsoil 0 though?  Why not 5w30?

O weight flows better in cold temps and provides faster startup protection.

The first number is the viscosity when cold....

Second number is viscosity at operating temp.

Thx for the insight. Looks like I'll try the 0w30 in the winter months.

OK thank you for that. Never knew that.

Anyone want to trade stock springs for my hr springs?

A pic..

Why are you trading? Looks good but might be a bit too low and ride quality could be bad.

 

[Black Coyote]

Videos coming soon guys..in car pulls. Looks like I'll be keeping it.

Hoping for the best, my friend, good luck!
