I searched around and couldn't find anything particular. I have a 99 c70 with some modification. About to upgrade the turbo and I do drive it hard occasionally. What oil brand should I use? Viscosity? Synthetic? I want to make sure I'm putting the proper oil in.

basically, if you start using synthetic keep using synthetic. It's not good for your seals if you switch back and forth between conventional non synthetic oil and synthetic oil.
Use 10w30 weight oil during summer (thicker oil) doesn't breakdown as easy in heat.
Use 5w30 weight oil during winter (thinner oil)
