"For a turbo, I wouldn't use anything but synthetic."
Again...why? I understand the "generally" better high temp characteristics, but as I've said before.... IF ... you can use a straight weight mineral oil, there are high quality versions out there that will literally beat the pants off Mobil 1...increased flash point by 50-100 degrees , and much improved HT/HS characteristics.
My point is that most people (either) live in places like California where low temp pour point isn't a factor ( where this thread veered off before)...or they put their cars away for the cold weather....ending up with the same non-issue. That leaves only high temp operation and (granted) synthetics are very good in this regard..but there are certain, cheaper, mineral oils that are even better.
