AMEN BROTHER! From personal experience with long term turbos, I will only use synth.
I might be shot down for this but I don't use the most expensive synth on the market and ran a volvo turbo over 200,000 miles in urban, stop and go driving without cool down periods, and that didn't even have water-cooled bearings like our PT's do. I use the Wally World brand synth. It is a full synthetic base but you can buy a 5 qt jug for about $12 if memory serves. They do a great job of beating suppliers up for the absolute lowest price on stuff. Just my $0.02
