nah, I live in CT where it gets below zero some days of winter. It will get thicker, but synthetics handle changes in temp much better than normal oil. I leave the oil in my trunk (to add when needed up at school) and it still flows nice even as cold as it is.

Your welcome bud- 15w50 did it for me, too! It's the way to go! congrats, i'm glad i could help.

yeah, but you shouldn't have to use 15w50 just to get no smoke, something else is the matter. did you get your oil psi checked, i bet that's the problem if you had the turbo rebuilt and it was still smoking. you didn't really fix the problem, even though i'm sure your stoked that it doesn't smoke anymore.

reducing the oil presure to the turbo is the solution, but the oil solution is just fine too.

I have a oil return leak issue and I'm using wal-mart POS oil, but when you loose a quart every 3 days it gets fresh POS oil twice a week..
