I simply don't believe...

...that an xW-20 oil can keep up with the very high temps of a turbo-charged engine. The hottest part of the enigine is when the oil flushes by the bearings of the turbo, where the temp very much exceeds 100 degrees. Any -20 oil will be degraded very fast by the temp!
Actually, a friend of mine, working with engine development in Trollhättan, says that the best alround oil to use in the turbo-engines is the Mobil 1 5W-50!
Maybe that's also one of the reasons that we here in Europe have longer oil-intervals, as our regular oils are -40 and -50. They simply withstand the hard life of the turbo better!
Cheers!
Cheers!
