I used 0w-40, but the lifters failed at 42k. I'm going Stg3 w. k04s from FTW

Just shop for the chip that costs the least and makes the most power, duh!

Default dude, with stronger cars, just go with a heavier weight
i would suggest something like 40w-90, because of the new engine layout and fsi.

and make sure you get the rear glass tinted, my cousin has an r8 and it looks TIZZAIGHT with the tint...

and i heard the car is faster if you take the chip out. less weight = faster

Best Chip: Tortitos. But they run on the hot side, according to Schwarzenegger.
