When you are on bottle, you are generating quite a bit of heat, it is actually simliar to when you run boost of some sort. The important thing with nos is to have a good sythetic that can adsorbe the heat and not break down. For N2O I use just a decent synthetic, you can use Mobile 1 or Red Line or some other high quality synthetic, I think Red Line will give you little better protection being a thicker oil, but at the same time will make your engine not rev to high. So if you are tlaking about a normal R18 motor, I would go Red Line. If it is an Si that revs much higher, maybe a thinner oil like M1 would work a little better. I would try these two oils and see which works best for you.
