I did a ton of research & agonizing over the switch before I was comfortable enough with the decision, & at that time I didn't even own a turbo! I've learned enough since then that I'm comfortable using SOME oils this long (Group IV/PAO full syns), but not others. When you add in the variable of a turbo, the base oil selection & additive packages become much more important to the durability/longevity of the oil & protection of the various engine components.
But I'm not just taking what I've read/heard from others as gospel; I'm also testing my choices at regular intervals for contamination levels & wear metals. When I'm comfortable with what I see on the analysis reports, I'll stop testing & just stick with that quality of oil & length of change interval.
