Always dangerous to mention oil on this Forum but a lot of people use synthetic engine oil like Mobil 1.
I'll use that when I get round to a change since Limousin Ox carts don't have superchargers.

Tons of "what oil?" discussions here:

Super Coupe Club of America

These guys have been monkeying around with Eaton M90 blowers for ages and have tried just about every oil there is.

(I only know about 'em because I used to own a T-Bird SC)
