Mobil 1? Castrol GTX? or Pennzoil Platinum?
May anyone give me some suggestion on synthetic motor oil?
Mobil 1? Castrol GTX? or Pennzoil Platinum? , which one is better regarding turbo car?
Althought Castrol is recommended by dealers, some one told me that both Castrol and Mobil are not full synthetic motor oil (100% PAO).
Also is this true that oil with higher Zinc content can provide longer protection to turbo cars?

Agreed! Mobil, Castrol and Pennzoil are all quailty products that will do the job. The important thing to remember is to perform regular oil changes according to your owners manual recommendations. The Oil Change Interval for my wife's Volvo V70 is 7,500 miles while my Toyota Sienna is 5,000. Stick to your OCI and you should not not have any problems whichever oil you pick.

I use Castrol in all my cars. You can google "synthetic motor oil" and get some good info on them and some test results. Amsol has a good chart. Some do better in areas than others but the important thing is to use the proper weight and change regularlly.
I would change more often than the manual recommends. My manual says 10,000 miles with my driving styles, I usually change within 5,000. Also, some say you can change less often with synthetic, I say not to exceed the schedule with synthetic and you'll be in real good shape.

Blackstone Laboratories Blackstone Labs charges $25 for their standard oil analysis plus provides you with a free sampling kit. I have used them a few times and am happy with their service.
