I did not see any performance change, mileage increase or decrease in mechanical harshness with change to $5/qt. MOBIL 1. Is it worth it? Who knows? I have run C900 turbos using $1/qt. Castrol dino for up to 200k without any problems.
Since the turbo has no bearings and rides on a thin film of oil it surely cannot hurt going to an oil with better lubricating qualities. But if you make the changeover at high mileage (like 100 k or so) you will clean out a lot of crud from dark corners of your engine and could create some new leaks in the process like I did. If I could do it all over again, I would have either used it from day one or not switched over at high mileage.
