Which oil to use...

With all of the sludge problems which seem to be stemming at least partly from the exhaust running under the oil pan (exhaust heat cooking the oil), I use M1 15w50 in summer and mix the M1 10w40 and 15w50 in winter. If you are going to use another stage 1 ECU and keep your stock downpipe/exhaust, I would strongly suggest using an oil suited to higher temps (like the 15w50). Increasing the power without using a better flowing exhaust is going to create higher exhaust temps which will rise straight to the oil pan. I do not have any trouble starting in sub-freezing temps and my gas mileage does not suffer.
