Message	Condition of engine? (seating surfaces) Mileage? Oil-loss between oil-changes? Ambient temperature? The following ranges may help give you a start: Above 0 F......10W-30, 10W-40 Above 50 F......20W-40, 20W-50 Below 61 F......5W-30 Strictly speaking for myself I use 10w40. It's sweltering muggy hot around here, but there are still many mornings when it's pretty cold. I would move up to the 20w50 if it were a frequent track car. Hope that helps :)
Follow Ups	what type of oil - ZTom 11:29:51 02/12/15 5w20 is way too thin for a TT. 10w40 at a minimum. - itsa300zx 11:38:44 02/12/15 best to do some oil analysis with different weights. (n/m) - itsa300zx 11:40:38 02/12/15 0W40 (n/m) - njz 09:51:30 02/14/15 Type or weight? R.P. is good, 5w20 is not. - FrozTTy 11:59:01 02/12/15 Re: Type or weight? R.P. is good, 5w20 is not. - ZTom 12:02:57 02/12/15 I've researched this plenty. Redline 10w40. - evan_aggie 13:10:51 02/12/15 Re: I've researched this plenty. Redline 10w40. - ZTom 14:43:40 02/12/15 BTW - be prepared for 20-30psi x K rpm. - evan_aggie 16:22:30 02/12/15 Re: I've researched this plenty. Redline 10w40. - aquariuscsm 18:57:41 02/12/15 Re: I've researched this plenty. Redline 10w40. - Mizzuh 13:48:58 02/13/15 No psi data for RL 10w40 on it...or 15w40 (non diesel?) (n/m) - evan_aggie 14:48:09 02/13/15 probably the same PSI rating, or within the ballpark - Mizzuh 20:30:48 02/13/15 I was going to switch back to Amsoil 0w30. (n/m) - ShakaShaun(Denver) 08:33:49 02/14/15 I am using Redline 15w-50 currently. - Metacom 11:27:57 02/14/15 Depends on several different variables.... - Hiram 01:41:13 02/17/15
