Smell the oil when it comes out and feel it, the turbo gets that oil so damn hot. It's burnt and nasty after 5k even with the best Dexos valvoline oil we sell at my work.

I've been waiting for someone with more experience to chime in. I would imagine the turbo gets the oil hot because the intercooler is supposedly inefficient. would you recommend a switch to full synthetic?
