Two things:

(1) It's very good oil, and has the higher zinc and phosphate levels that are recommended by FP for your turbo.

(2) YOU CAN GET A WHOLE CASE FOR FREE right now :) That's about $75 worth of free synthetic oil!
Here's where you need to look:

I'm not using it now because my motor is being built. I will use it again once my motor is broken in. I'm just not sure what weight to go with. I may mix some 20/50 into the 10/30. Not sure yet. Auto zone has it.

I run it on my stock block......my car loves it...

I have a Red but I run the Syn. Yeah I have to agree with Strict7gsr, my car loves it as well. I use the 10w-30 in the Winter and 20w-50 in Summer. I also change mine every 3K and use a K&N Filter. I also just sent off for the free case offer too. It has 1300 and 1400 for the Zinc and Phos.
