Is the car equipped with oil gauges?
I think you'll find that M1 0W-40 will be heavier than necessary and a 5W-30 syn should provide you with all the high temperature viscosity the engine requires.

He says it does not currently have oil temp/pressure gauges but he plans to add them at some point.

The M1 0w-40 is a very good "performance" oil with alot of factory approvals on some very high end sports cars. It should work very well for your friend. Was it a stock rebuild or a performance build?
I had a budddy with an MR2 turbo that was putting down 450hp(internally stock) at the wheels until one of the two fuel pumps blew a fuse causing it to go lean and subsequently grenading during a full poweer run. Love the 3s-gte motor.

Mobil 1 0W40 is a very good/stout oil and I'm actually thinking about using it in my V12 XJS...
I used to laugh at the mr-2 cars when I'd see them til I drove my friends with a turbo.
What a blast to drive. Economy car mileage and corners so hard your brains will fall out of your ears.
As far as oil goes you can't go wrong with any euro 0w-40. They are turbo approved and are great oils.
And 26 bucks a jug at Walmart is hard to beat.

No oil certified CJ-4 will meet GF-5.
