[Vwdiesel] Synth good for spool ups?

[Derek]

The turbo starts to turn as soon as the engine is turned over, although
slowly until you start making boost.  As far a better mileage with
synthetics, that's an easy one.  Reduced fluid friction.

One consideration for syn oil is the speed with which oil gets to the
turbo. The quicker the better and dino can't hold a candle to syn at any
place on the temperature scale! The time that oil arrives at the turbo
bearings does not matter is you have a preluber of some type.

I'm a little confused  are you saying tht synthetic oil get around the
bearings quicker?
I don't understand the link to lubricating the turbo...
Surely turbo doesnt turn until youve pulled off; and by then the entire
system is pressurised even if you used honey?
Unless you start your vehicle with your foot to the ground and rev the
engine from start up! :o)

Chris why do you get better mileage with synthetics...unless you are talking
about short journeys in Alaska?
 My 60mpg in the Quantum is achieved with cheap dino...
