I just got a super charged 02 z06. It has a ls2 in it and it is fully built 402. My question is, will mobil 1 5w-30 still be the best oil for this engine?



Thanks

 

NOPE! If is isn't a racing dedicated oil its not going to have the lubricating properties you need etc... There is a thread started here by Louis from LG motorsports that had a lot of good info for you just check it out.

Also need to see what oil the builder of the motor says to put in it as far as 20w 50 r 20w 40. The way the motor was build will have a lot to do with what you need to use in her.. Robert

 

Ok thanks. I found that write up and I sure am glad I asked. What other regular Maintenance should I do to a fi engine? I mean that is differant than NA.

 

If your F/I unit is self/cont chg the correct oil in it like it says to. Plus may be good to go with a diff spark plug and gap on them. That will be on what rwhp you are running on the gapping... Robert

 

It is running 693 to the wheels. I have always ran ngks on my nitrous car. Im going to do a few searches on the plugs

 

I'm running Denso IT22 Iridium Spark Plugs:

Gapped at what ? I am reading 28-30

 

correct the boost will blow the spark out if you go bigger gap!32 is max for yours most use a TR6 under 750rwhp TR7 ngk for 800+

 

waste of $ FI plugs dont last long! NGK works better

 

So how often should I change my plugs?

 

there only $12 so change them every 3-6 months
