Dont go over 10w30. If you do it will affect the spool charactersitics of your turbo.

I use mobil1 10w30 fully synthetic. If you change your own oil its no more expensive then getting nonsynthetic done at a garage...

I wasn't. For some it may be a time management issue or they may just not have the tools/facilities. I won't let anyone touch my car but, that's just me.
