I was just wondering what the rest of the community was using for their turbo engines. I've been using Mobil One 15W50 for a while and now they've improved it by extending the duration between oil changes. Here's the link:

So what do the rest of you use?

You guys should try the new Mobile 1 that I'm using. 15W50. Been using it for a few days. Love it and you can't beat the extra protection for up to 15,000 miles(not saying I'd wait that long, but it's only a buck more per quart compared to regular Mobile 1).

mobile 1 15-30 full synthetic is the only way to go with turbo motors oh by the way mobile 1 amsoil and possibley royal purple are the only TRUE synthetics, yes all the others are still derived from petrolium producst so castrol pensoil valvoline and most others are not true synthetics, there may be some not so well known that are but do your research.
