Best oil for nitrous application?

I am about to hit 100,000 miles on the odometer, and I am still spraying a 100 wet shot.

I am curious what brand/weight oil you nitrous guys use.

The car has Castrol 5w50 Syntec right now which I think might be a bit too viscous.

I run mobil 1 5w30. Just use a good synthetic 5w30, 10w30 if your in a warmer climate.

think of it this way, the lighter the weight, the easier it is to freeze. i use 5w 30 royal purple in 0* weather and it doesn't freeze. if i used natural oil, i would have a small problem starting. that was why i switched to a highend fully synthetic.
