I should have asked if you know what type of oil was previously run in the car. If you don't know then 20w50 should be fine. If you are worried about temps, get an oil cooler.... It's on my upgrade list.

yes, an oil cooler will be on the car. but, someone please explain why synthetic is not good for ball bearing turbo (don't know, so i'd like to know). tuners in japan run it a lot of times (fusion, re super oil, hks racing oil, etc)... thanks

I think you should do your own research on oil and not rely on this forum to tell you that synthetic oil is bad for your turbo. (I, for one, don't buy it... but I'm not going to argue with these guys about it)

Synthetic oil is good.
