First post!
Came here researching for that "perfect oil"...
So I have a newly turbocharged BRZ (1k miles) currently running M1 5w30. I have the triple whammy of an oil only cooled turbo, short trips and hot FL weather. Right now I'm seeing 230F oil temps (200 coolant) which is ok but I'm sure the turbo is beating that oil to death with heat (its gives off whisps of smoke off the CHRA on shut down). As some may know the OEM fill is 0w20 which is far too thin for my app. It seems like Redline 5w30 might be good choice because of high HTHS and low Noack.
Any other recommendations for oil?
