NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!


Sorry. this is the one billionth time this has been asked. Some like synthetic, some dont. It seems to get past seals and leak a bit more than dino-juice, but seems better for the turbos. 10-30 or 20-50, depends on how hard you run it. Thinner moves easier throught the system (better for cold start), thicker takes heat away maaayyybe. Change the oil every 2000 miles or less, the filter at that time as well, use a quality filter.

Searching would help you with your quest.
