some people say use the extra half quart because turbo cars 'burn oil like crazy' ...

umm, i thought the reason people use an extra half quart is because of the extra 'space' that the oil feed and drain lines take up.

Just add enough to make the dip stick read correctly. That way you have the right amount in the pan, regardless of any additional space created by turbo feedlines, or oil manifolds, etc. Also, utilizing the dipstick as an indicator. ensures you don't overfill, causing losses from the crak slopping the oil.

Hope that helps,

Craig
