  1. Thanks. Even with my limited knowledge, I sort of suspected that was the case. I don't understand - is it some global conspiracy where Subaru dealers want us to use regular oil? There has to be some reason behind it...profit motive? Why not say that all Subarus should use regular oil? Or do they think that because most people don't understand turbos they can slip it by them?
  2. Just read through this thread... I bought an 06 recently that had a bad turbo (got a good deal on it). I had the dealer replace the turbo / flush the oil system and I was told the same thing mentioned above - DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC. I've never worried about oil before in my Audis (non-turbo) and now I'm paranoid that not using the correct oil will kill my new turbo... I'm not sure what oil was used for the first 88K miles but given that the turbo was junk as a result of "using the wrong oil or not changing frequently enough" (according to the mechanic at the dealer) I'm now paranoid! At this point I'm thinking I should: start using 5w40 synthetic and change every 3K. Does this make sense?
