You should look into Penrite Oil...they are Austrailian and it looks to be pretty nice stuff. I have not used it but there is an article reviewing oil and it was the favorite. There is a link somewhere on here but I can't remember where. I have found where to source it here in the US and will be trying it out next oil change. It is kind of pricey though, $75 for 5L of 5w-50 100% synthetic, you don't need that weight oil but it gives you an idea of the price. You want to look into something in a 10w-30 100% synthetic, NOT fully synthetic (which only needs to be 30% syn to be called fully). Many people use AMSoil, but there are many other great oils out there, Red Line, Motul, Lucas, Royal purple (needs oil changed more often then some), I am currently running Elf/Total 10w-50 Racing oil. I am using it for the first time and plan to send it out to a lab and see what they think of it, I am going to do it with the Penrite too. Then compare, maybe do a third oil (thinking Motul) then decide which one to run. My engine is built and will see severe high boost/RPM track use, so oil is a concern of mine.

I thought the same thing at first, til one of my friends bought a brand new 05 MR back in the day and showed up enkei wheels and told me that it was an option plus he said he had to pay for the hids cause they were an option too and not a stock item
