your killing me man iam waiting for my vortech it should be here friday. Iam sooo jealiouse

as for oil your instrutions state "use a high rated SF oil or a quality synthetic" it should be the 3rd or 4th page down. I dont believe that BS about using dino oil.

Ya because the cars the cars that HAVE to run FULL synthetic have sooo many problems with blown seals right? aka corvettes camaros 350zs and lexus. . Again the manual states "use a high rated SF oil or a quality synthetic". read the install manual for the last time.

Damn man, way to jump down his throat...

Motorcraft is a synthetic blend, and is reccomended for our engines specifically.

He is reffereing to synthetics for being bad for the seals in the blower, not the engine itself...

MyBloodRunsBlue · Nov 22, 2007

somebody just tell me the specific brand and thickness type of oil i should use for my blower setup

BennyBlown2v · Nov 22, 2007

I run Castrol GTX 5w30.

MyBloodRunsBlue · Nov 22, 2007

BENNY is that castrol GTX 5w30 non synthetic??

Yes. GTX is non-synthetic. A friend of mine who was an oil/synthetic manufacturing engineer for 20+yrs reccomended Castrol GTX as one of the highest quality non-synthetic oils for me. Works great for me, doesn't burn any, and I get very little blow by - about 1 table spoon every month or month and a half in my separator when I had busted PCV, now with no PCV I get none. Driverside breather is always dry and I never get white or blue some under boost; the blower seals are in pretty good condition also with possibly a mild seep on the intake site (not uncommon) and nothing at all on the outlet side.

Also I'm pushing 11psi on a stock block
