the owner's manual recommends SF/CD oil. There are many popular manufacturer's that sell quality oils that meet or surpass OE recommendations at half the cost the dealer would charge for "turbo oil", synthetic or blended synthetic. I personally believe there is more hype than substance in many of the claims motor oil companies make. There is plenty of research to show modern motor oils do an excellent job at what they are intended to do when used properly. The bottom line is choosing the recommended grade oil, changing at realistic intervals while using a quality filter, and driving the car sensably until warm up. Synthetics are great and if you can afford them use them, however, I feel the car will perform and last as long with a dino oil and proper maintenance.
I think the guy may be getting an employee discount on the oil and is trying to get you to buy it.
