Default turbo

A high quality turbo design by a experienced diesel engine builder such as Cat or Cummins is much more important than the quality of the oil you use. However changing oil on modest milage basis also important to long turbo life. I never use synthetics in any of my trucks with turbos, consider it waste of good $$. A good quality oil filter much more important. I saw study where major trucking firm only changed oil filter every 10,000km, they found oil showed no wear metals until ~50,000 km.
