according to manual is best, if nothing mentioned i would go for full synthetic oil, these new oils have very high resistance to shearing and wearing.

Can I ask,

apart from regular EO change, is there anything we need to maintain the turbo in good condition?

using TD05 20g

Use only good brand name oils , nothing kills turbo faster than cheap oils just to save a few bucks

apparently, I  asked my friends the same question.
and none of them actually bother to maintain their turbo..

probably mine is the smallest while theirs are AR70..
I see, thanks for sharing this.

not sure if you could answer this.
is shell helix ultra or the lexus fully synthetic engine oil, good enough?

Shell please , if you try to buy these oem branded ones outside of the service centre you maybe buying fakes
