Exclamation oil type on turbo lancer

Hey guys,
No no I dont have a turbo lancer YET!!!! Dam. Really though, I am a fan of sticking to a single type of oil and not switching around. I noticed on a posts that RRM DOES NOT recomend syntheic on their turbos. (I believe thats right) I was a fan of Castrol GTX 20w50 in my old "hon*a" I didnt want to write that on this board. Would this be a good oil in a n/a lancer and soon to be t/c lancer. What kind of oils are recomended. What kind is everyone having luck w/. Any responce is apreaciated Thanx

seems to have alot of conflicting opinions; im trying to figure it out. First RRM tells me do not use synthetic and then some people on here say synthetic is best..... i dunno

if you buy a rrm turbo kit, and use synthetic oil and your car blows up, don't blame the kit, thats all.

20w50 non-synthetic is the story I've heard. Manufacturer would be your choice.
