   Yep, I agree. My last car was turbocharged, and the members of
the mailing list for that model recommended using Mobil 1, which I did. I
still use Mobil 1 synthetic in my Dak. (Oil and filter get changed every 3K)
I used non-synthetic Mobil 1 up to 10K before switching to the synthetic to
allow for proper engine break-in. (As suggested by several people.)
