I don't see the reasoning for your oil recommendation? A good quality fully synthetic is IMO much better suited to a turbo engine than fossil. I wouldn't use fossil oil at all, unless I had my own private grease monkey who changed the oil every 2000-3000 miles ;)
(and then I'd feel bad about the environmental issue of disposing of massive amounts of waste oil).
The lower temp thermostat isn't a good idea either IMO, as the engine likes to run as hot as possible, without overheating. 89 degrees celcius is healthier for the engine than 82.
