The Ik22 plugs are pre gapped and oil opinions are like belly buttons.... Like everybody else I have a belly button and oil opinions.... I like Amsoil, Mobile1, and right now am trying out 5W20 Royal Purple..... I hung out one day wth FitFlowjoe who is using Amsoil 0W20, a straight axle back pipe 9 1/2 lb Enkeis with 22 Lb tires a PRM intake and using premium fuel.... His car is N/A and really moves.... OJR told koi that 0W30 was to light for his A/T car with boost but he said it improved the performance.... My car is running stronger than ever since I went to the Royal Purple but I think the cooler weather has more influence than the oil...... I really like Royal Purple, The color is cool and it smells good..... Viscosity has nothing to do with film strength and as long as you have adequate oil pressure using the lower viscosity stuff I can see no reason not to and plenty of reasons to use it.
