i have just installed a sr20det red top engine into my 240sx and the first oil that went in was thick, and im wandering if the next oil change i should put the same thick oil in or would it be ok to start using synthetic oil, such as 5w-30 or something. also what oil filter fits onto the red top sr20det engines. thanks

I'd recommend a heavier oil, since your redtop is turbocharged. I wouldn't go any lower than 10-W30. 10-W40 would be even better.
