Default What oil????

ive not long done an oil change on my FRST with comma 5w 30 fully synthetic oil as recommended by my local tuner, im unsure because since my car has been smoking alot and oil smoking from the bottom of the turbo,

what is the best oil to use on a frst.

Thanks in advance.

10w 40 fully synthetic is best mate for rs turbos.A well known tuner told me this last week.He said 0w 40 blows turbos and mobile1 motorsport 15w 50 is too thin
