Wow, man, you need to be a little more aware of what's going on with your car. These cars will bite you hard if you don't maintain them properly.

The first thing you do when you get a used car is change the oil and filter! Do this NOW!

You can use 10w30 synthetic or mineral oil. Synthetic is better for the turbos and a good quality one (Mobil 1) will not cause any problems with the engine.
