Brad, On my '86 9000T which I had for 11 years and 160+K mi, I exclusively used Penzoil Turbo 10w-30, and I changed it religiously at the recommended 3750 mi. Now on my '95 900 SE and my '97 Aero, they have extend the factory recommend interval to 5000 mi. This concerned me at first on the turbos, but oil technology has come a long way in 11 years. When I do it myself I still do the same. I don't know what brand the dealer uses, but I they did say that the factory is now recommending 15w-40 rather than 10w-30. My independent mechanic says they have heard nothing about that though. I wonder which has more viscosity modifier to break down 10w-30 or 15w-40.
