Adam,
I used RP for a while, but went back to Mobil 1. I had the banjo bolt recall done, but too late for the turbo. I got the car back yesterday from the turbo replacement.
I did an oil/filter change at 36K miles(Mobil 1 and either a Fram Ultraguard or whatever the upgraded AC Delco filter is called, I can't remember), and the oil looked so bad when they had it in that they replaced it without even asking. It had been less than 3K, closer to 2K, miles. I have found that the oil gets black and nasty VERY quickly. It may very well have been a symptom of the bad turbo seals. I plan to keep a close eye on the situation in the next 3-5K miles and see if there is any improvement.
Hope this info helps.
