Whats going on guys. I dont post much because i like to read more than ask. im not a mechanic and i started working on my car last year, first car i ever touch. I was wondering why people say Synthetic oil is bad for turbo cars? If so, what kind of oil should i be using in my motor since i live in New York? Thanx in advance.

synthetic is the best oil u can use on damn near any car, especially a turboed one, i would use mobil 1 10w30 in the winter and 15w50 in the summer if its hot where u live
