Just like the title says, what are you guys using for the turbo? I know honda engines used 5w-30 oil, but what do you recommend for the turbo? Conventional or Syn oil?

 

Ive used Penzoil for the past 3 years, non-synthetic.
10w-30.
Works fine for me...it's ceap at Wallmart also. $1.09.

 

i run royal purple 10w-30. Im probably wasting my money but it makes me feel good to say it costs 50$ to change my oil.

 

Castrol GTX 10w30 REGULAR OIL

 

So majority are using 10W30. Is it because turbo doesn't like thinner oil?

Castrol GTX 10W-40 and a bottle of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer every other oil change.

You are correct. The oil is thinner. I am boosted and only use 5w30.
