Default best oil?!?? i'm confused

what is the best oil to use in your turbo

i see people putting all different thinkness's in

i have always used mobil 1 motorsport 15-50 myself

but i see people putting other stuff in

what difference does it make & how do you determine what to put in?

reason I ask is that i'm finding it difficult to find any mobil 1 motorsport

so what other good oil could i use?

theres a thread in here somewhere that really breaks it down for u. Do a search.

From what i can make out the last number dont make a difference BUT

a 5w50 is best in the winter
a 15w50 is best in the summer

Ive got 10w50 ready to go in thatll do for me.

Or am i talking bolloux?
