I only run syn in all of our vehicles. My '90 16v n/a likes a heavier oil (M1 15W-50) but along with summers seeing over 100F the winters here are often below 0F, so M1 0W-40 is a better oil for year-round use. The turbo gets M1 5W-40, for its improved additive package & better film strength. If I lived in a warmer area (above freezing winters) I'd only use 15W-50.
My '90 just turned 264,000 miles. I've been having the oil analyzed for the past 6 or 7 yrs & have settled on strict 20,000 mile oil changes. The '99 9-3 turbo could go 10k mi, but the '02 9-3 only goes 5k mi between changes.
