Recommendations on oil

Hey everyone

I am in the process of installing a 2.9l Whipple on my 2019 SS. In your experiences, is there a preference of motor oil to use or a reason to change the oil more often?

Thanks in advance.

Ryan

Great stuff indeed. I use Motul for all my vehicles, however, since all of them are GDI and driven 100% on the street, I opted for the 8100 X-Clean series (40 Weight), since they take better care of sludge issues (specific detergents in the formula) - This may sacrifice a certain degree of lubricity, but negligible.
The X-Clean 8100 is also Dexos2 certified and this is required to keep the warranty in tact.

If you mainly track, drag, Etc. and change it often, then the 300V power is one of the best solutions out there.
