Re:what kind of oil do you use for turbo?
 

you have obviously been misinformed every one i know uses it

Ive used in every car ive owned there is nothing wrong with it Ive used it in my civic for 50,000 turbod and occasionally nitroused miles also my friend has used it from day 1 in his work truck and its gone over 300,000 miles no smoking or engine problems

it would be harder on cold starts

One of its main benefits is the reduction of wear caused by cold starts due to the fact that it hangs on to cylinder walls for up to a week . if you are going to argue a point know the facts The only complaint most people have with it is if you are running the car at extremely high rpms for long periods of time (hours, like in a race car) the oil may foam and trap air inside of it greatly reducing its lubrication properties. also living in florida as i do you dont really worry about cold starts

I know a lot of people of stick by Mobile 1 and when i worked for Porsche/Audi thats what they used in the all of the Porsche's and some of the higher end Audi's but they had some oddball weight cant remember what it was for the Porsche. I use to get like 300 cases in every shipment. I should have stocked up before i quit!
