Real conclusion: Turbochargers are EXTREMELY HARD ON MOTOR OIL 850

Bob seems OK, but I haven't studied him in depth......

Another thing I forgot to mention. Several of the posts say that the Amsoil 5W-30 is a 25,000 mile motor oil. Well maybe in a NA car, but in a Turbo - even optimistic Amsoil corporate says: 10,000 miles max!! That should really tell us something about just how hard turbochargers are on oil. So we chip our cars, crank the boost way up, mix high rev boosts with city idling....yikes!
