Since the beginning of time, the effect of heat and friction on dino oil has been well known. It breaks down. It cokes up (especially in your turbo's oil passages). It becomes sludge.
I don't think I've ever heard of a turbo car whose manufacturer didn't recommend 3K mile intervals with the dinosaur stuff, or flatly recommend against its use (as in the case of these cars) and insist on synthetic, which resists breakdown, coking and sludging.
This is nothing new. I can't believe you'd actually ask that question.
