Oil grade for turbo
I am running full synthetic in my turbo car now. I was curious if you had to run full synthetic or if it was just recommended? Also, what grade? I have 5w30 full synthetic in there now i believe. I have to change the oil cause I had a leak somewhere and got gas mixed with the oil. ANyways, trouble shooting the problem but changing my oil, what kinda oil do I use???? Thanks!

yeah mine in a built ls vtec and the mach. dude told me that the shell desil oil has a very high zinc content and will help break in very well a friend of mine said that that is what he uses in his street bike due to the high mineral content.
