hello,
wanna ask turbocharged car owner here, these few days i've been asking around about "which engine oil suitable for turbo system"...
some say:
mineral oil - the molecule is more stable bla bla but i cant find the logic here
semi-synthetic - i saw in some oil ads/flyers suggesting that oil the best for turbo cars
full-synthetic - got ppl said to me that this 1 too light/thin, easily dried up by the temperature
so until now, i still cant decide which 1 is the best for it..
You are asking the wrong question. The correct question to ask is, what grade and viscosity do you need.wanna ask turbocharged car owner here, these few days i've been asking around about "which engine oil suitable for turbo system"...

Grade.
Example. A expensive Fully Synthetic oil of the wrong grade is worst off than a Mineral oil of the correct grade. Look for the correct API or ACEA or JASO rating
Viscosity
Example. If the engine calls for 10W30, 10w50 would be a poor choice. (Off topic: a Mineral 10w50 is a recipe for disaster).
