Nathan-
I can't agree with your assessment- where do you see that Mobil 1 is
"not
rated for turbos?"

Also, in the UrS cars, the VW spec that you reference came much later-
regular Mobil 1 is fine. In the much later cars with much tighter
tolerances
and engines spec'd for much lighter oil for fuel efficiency purposes,
you
will
need the 505.02 stuff. Also, for cars under warranty.

Along that line...

Funny was the other night watching my buddy pull out a quart of M1 5W30
and dumping it into the just ohsohotly run GT2.  I ask, is that some
special weight Porsche specifies for this tightly wound (and now
chipped) motor?  He shrugs and says "dunno, it's oil" - I was cringing
in my shorts and been quadruple checking if it were my car, world I'll
never know I guess.  Either that or he was dead sure.  Um...

Did get me some more WOT teeeeheeeeee time in it which is alwayz good
(them poor 315/35/19 rears provide ohsolittle defense to loudpedal).
Look ma I'm going 50 presto no I'm going a billion.  Then got to chase
it down a bit in der //Sbeast which was fun.  Fun getting annihilated
but fun nonetheless.  Oh the smelllllllllllllllll of burnt chipped 105.
And ohthesound.  

I know nuthhhhhhhhhhhing...

-Paul M1 apparently good for reaaaaaaaaaally hot GT2turbos K.
