Goin' Turbo pretty soon=)RRM said that i have to ditch the Synthetic cause the stock turbo is not suppose to use syn, they recommended goin back to dino. Brian from RRM said that they can put 20w 30 but im still not sure though with that oil ratio
? It's not the stock turbo that's the problem, it's the stock oil pump. I thought they used 15w50 or something along those lines. You can go back to dino oil, I did it recently and it's fine. Depending on who you ask you'll get a different response, even among mechanics and oil manufacturers.
I'm doing the same going from syn back to dino for future turbo. I was told do two oil changes with a syn blend and then before the 3rd oil change run a cleaner through your oil and then change with the dino and you should be good...we'll see how it goes

Well, I'll just add I'm doing the exact same! Not for turbo or anything, but I feel I'm wasting the extra $3/4 on each quart that I don't need to. I'm doing two 3k miles runs on semi-blend, then using dino all the way. BTW, I use Castrol 5w 30...
i just did this too on my last oil change because i knew i was going to buy the rrm kit. what i did was do an engine flush than put regular oil in it. engine flushes are recommended every 3 oil changes or 9k miles i believe.
why would you go from convintional oil to synthetic oil and back to conventional oil. thats crazy. i would stay with synthetic oil. it doesnt break down as fast as conventional oil does and you dont have to change it as often. i use catrol synthetic 10w30 3 quarts and then add a quart of lucus sythetic stabilizing oil and that **** works wonders. i have 127,000 miles on my 2002 lancer es. i dont think my engine would still be running if i hadnt have changed it to synthetic.
