I use synthetic just cant remember what type of oil i used last time. I am on my second stock turbo and we r coming up on warm months? Should I used 10w-40 or something else coming up on 80k miles

Thanks and sorry about the brain fart:huh:

Car manual says 5w30, though many run 5w40 in the winter and 10w40 in the summer.

Btw, this topic is covered pretty extensively in the stickied threads at the top of the forum.

i would stick to 5w-30 or 5w-40 but nothing else. that is all that is really rated for this car.

i run 5w40 shell rotella t6 synthetic, always have good UOA's with it.
Same here. If I can't get Rotella my second choice is Penzoil Platinum.
