Question

I take it you mean Mobil1 Motorsport 15w50 and not the 0w40?
If your using the 0w40 then its too thin for a turbo engine and will do more harm than good
As for other oils to use.... Motul 300V 15w50 (available from ScoobyMania ) or Castrol 10w60 (available from Mellow in the for sale section at the moment )
