Seeing how none of our cars came with turbos from the factory, the manufacturer isn’t going to investigate that problem, so there will be no “official” data to look into. And even if you personally look into it, you more than likely won’t find that information in any organized manner due to the fact that the factory is not involved in gathering it. I’m certain SOMEBODY out there has more than likely installed a small turbo into their car.
But, if there is a better grade of oil available in the weight that you use, wouldn’t you want to at least investigate whether your engine would be better protected using it? This new oil is specifically designed for direct injected and boosted engines. It’s designed to replace a grade of oil that has been shown to have flaws in protecting these types of engines.
I would be willing to bet that every turbocharged, direct injected car that is released after GF-6 becomes widely available will require the use of this GF-6 grade.
