I hear good things about GC 0W-30.
Does this turbocharged engine place special demands on its oil?
Any recommendations on which oil to use...
I'm thinking oil changes every 7500 miles.
Hot and hotter running twin turbos. This looks like an engine tailor-made for RL, although I'm sure the specification approval is lacking.
Otherwise, GC is a good pick here.
Depending on sump capacity and driving habits, I'd run a UOA or two before settling on an optimum OCI. Go short to start, though.
