[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1437588, member: 35543"] Just a point of clarification for everyone; the "W" in the viscosity label is for "Winter", not "Weight". This signifies that the oil is acceptable for use in cold weather. I follow your theory, however I would be very interested to see oil analysis results that support it. Modern synthetics don't suffer from viscosity breakdown like previous generations of conventional oil, which means a 5W-30 oil should remain a 5W-30 oil throughout the oil change interval. Based on zemuron99's oil analysis, his viscosity range was right in specification, which indicates that viscosity breakdown did not occur. As far as the turbos, all modern turbos they are liquid cooled (coolant flows through them). Thats not to say they are't still hard on oil, quite the contrary, but its nothing like the turbochargers from decades ago that were literally cooled by nothing but oil. Still best to run a quality full synthetic oil in any turbocharged engine of course. [/QUOTE]
