Re: FS: My turbo stuff
If it gets below -20c where you are (I know it does here in Quebec wink1.gif), you should use a 5w30 or 5w40 oil. 10w30/40 is rated for -20c min, where 5w30/40 is rated for -30c.

yeah windchill can go for -30c sometimess
Windchill is not a real temperature, it's just "how it feels" but actual air temperature is whatever the temp is.
But dito on what Agarwal said. 5W-30, you'll be fine.

Re: Pictires of GTR wing and shark wing on 1st gen?
I run the same oil in the winter as in the summer. 10w-40. Unless it gets colder than normal here. If it drops some I may go down to 10w-30.
