10w30 is the stock recommended weight not 20w50. 20w50 is recommended by old school domestic racers that have engines with allot looser tolerances than modern engines like the 4g63

Sorry, but im not running dirty oil through my turbo. Longer life isnt the only advantage of Syn oil. It creates less friction all the way around. Id rather spend $30 every 3k miles than trash a new turbo due to shitty oil.

Oil is cheap and is the cheapest insuranse your motor has against failure. Remember its not just the motor that uses the oil but the turbo as well. Yes i am very anal about oil changes and spark plugs and so on but i have beat on my car for 2years now with out any major problems. I dont even have a lifter tick problem. There is one lifter that will tick for like 5 seconds when i first start the car but thats it.
