Since after my rebuild, I've been using Joe Gibbs break in oil and then just conventional oil, per my builders request. I haven't even put on 3000 miles since my rebuild - 2 years ago - but I've changed the oil several times and am now considering what oil I should use once I'm ready for my next oil change.
The previous owner was using Mobil 1, so I just continued using that, but now that everything is fresh and new, I really want to ensure I'm using the best oil for my application.
The car is an Iowa, only driven during the summer car. It has a Vortech S/C and the oil pan is tapped so each oil change changes super charger oil as well. I just want to make sure I'm using an oil that is good for the supercharger. The car is not raced, but sometimes driven spiritedly.
What I'd like to know is what type of oil I should be running. What brand, what weight and viscocity, conventional or synthetic? And I don't have a manual anymore, so is it 5 quarts or 6 -- I've been hearing both.
