Thanks for the link to the Forced Performance reccomendations for engine oil! Very informative. Still doesn't make a case for non-synthetic, it makes a case for race oil for 600 hp engines. I don't think any of us with RAs are close to that but it is a good thing to keep in mind when we get there or for our Evo friends that are already there.
BTW, I use Mobil 1 and will switch to race oil when I change my turbo.

That guide on Forced Performance is ONLY for people running their RED and Black turbo upgrades. As the added zinc/phos is needed for their turbos bearing design.
130k hard *** miles and it's seen Mobil 1 EP or HM it's entire life. I wouldn't change up now if the oil was free

Personally i think royal purple is junk for boosted applications. I ran it for one oil change in my VIII then went back to mobile 1. RP broke down WAY faster, based on visual inspection and oil feel, than mobile 1.
