Synth makes sense to me esp. for turbo because: It's more convenient. I change it 1x year (filter 2x) instead of 3-4 times. Better protection. That's what it's all about isn't it? http://www.amsoil.com http://www.off-road.com/RoverWeb/OilFAQ.html More environmentally friendly. Less oil consumed. Better gas mileage so in the end it's not that much more expensive. 93 9000CSET, 5spd, 160k mi, Amsoil 5W-30 "Ed Korsberg" <nobodynopsamere.net> wrote in message news:5Yz2a.15497$0L3.4959610nopsam2.news.adelphia.net... > I have a 2000 9-5 and it came with synthetic oil from the factory > (or at least the dealer).
