20V questions

[EverAE]

hey just thought i'd ask what oil your running in your 20V's? and where and what do you fill up with? (gas wise/octane)

thanks guys

Don't have a 20V here but I got a redtop smallport (High compression) and I run regular 10W30 in the summer and 5W30 in the winter.

As for gas, run 91 or higher octane.

Agip 20W50 (94octane)

I run 15w40, which is the recommended thickness. (for here anyway)

Fine for me, and I don't see why it should cause any problems. I don't know what you have but my 20V is stock, other than some external bolt-ons. Application is daily driving + lapping days + grocery getting. I tried 94 one time didn't notice a significant difference, I wasn't paying attention though so this year I'll feed some 94 and speculate again. But MINIMUM go with 91.

Last year after my swap the tank had some old 87 mixed with a little bit of 91. Thanks to the factory ECU I didn't get any pinging (knock sensor) and it was perfectly drivable on the street, but it definately didn't pull as hard as it did with a tank of pure 91 octane.

its coming... my uncle was supposed to be bringing me his hoist this weekend but he didn't so i'm just going to go rent one or something cause i'm sick of waiting lol. I've just been doing body work in the meantime, i'll take some pics today after i sand down the mud. getting my wiring sent to be done by kpsxtyone this week, then i'm picking up ae92 rear disk conversion from him when the harnesses are done . then i just got to run to the wreckers and grab a efi pump and it should be going soon.
