I still maintain that a 0w oil is just too thin for a turbocharged '2. There's no scientific evidence I can bring up to show that, and I know that both TTE and Oilman disagree with me, but my car ran a million times better on 15w-40 (I think: Mark always corrects me on this!) than on anything thinner.

FWIW - I've tried a few different oils, including 5w30 Motul recommended by oilman, and although it performed OK I prefer to run 5W40 Mobil1 that you can get from Calais for only £20 for 4 litres - The engine 'sounds' better with it, especially from a cold start.
