For older/high-mileage engines I've always had success with "quality" 5w/30 or 10w/40 "natural" oils with the last 1/2-qt. to 1-qt. being a mixture of Marvel Mystery Oil and Lucas Oil Stabilizer. The turbochargers have been lasting 125k+miles and the current c900t motor has 350k+ without ever opening it...and it still doesn't burn oil of smoke.
Just put down a deposit a NG900-SET and haven't decided if I'll convert over to synthetic or not. The "sludge issue" bothers me. I guess as long as I change both the oil AND filter I can use either-type. I have no idea what's in it now, nor if there's any way to tell.
I think I will have the brake hydraulics flushed out with silicone synthetic though.....
