LesH: Back in Oct 09 you posted this regarding Esso XD3 0W-40:
'Since my car is off warranty, I'm free to use any oil I like - I use Esso XD3 Synthetic 0W-40. Super quality, inexpensive at Canadian Esso bulk dealers, and seems to work well according to a couple of oil analyses I've had done myself and many I've viewed on places inhabited by crazy people (see bobistheoilguy.com). But does not have the ACEA rating since it's mainly intended for a commercial/agricultural market that doesn't care about such things.'
Instead of dropping your oil change interval from a legitimate 8000km (5K miles), you might try getting something that's not intended for 'commercial / agricultural' applications. It may not be a proper oil for a turbo car and 'inexpensive' is relative, right? Just sayin'...
[Good luck!]
