I use 20/50 normally, since it gets 115-120 temps in summer the thicker oil helps against bearing failure and wear. I picked up the 10W40 for cheaper thats why I bought a case of it. It will never drop below 20 degrees or 10 degrees.
There is 20w50 amsoil carries as well steve...using thicker oil may or may not help you with bearing failure though...I believe that all depends on what your tolerances are...tighter tolerances may not allow a thicker oil to get in there...irrc the first number (I.e the 10 in 10w30) is the tempetature factor...it's the second number "40" in my example that is the weight/thickness
1. Castrol GTX 10w30. Cheap and works just as well, especially since it still leaks.
2. Hankook v12 Evo.
3. Borla
4. Hardtop. My other car already has t-tops.
5. Stealth, I guess. My car's slow and quiet.

I know Amsoil has the 20W50 , I wanted a thinner oil for the turbo I thick the 40W will be better off for it and protect the engine at the same time.
