How can you blame them? Subaru is the best, everyone knows that.

no it doesnt, the thicker the oil the more chance to starve the turbo bearings from oil you have, the oil pasages on the turbo are small therfore using a 20W50 is just looking for trouble, you dont see the effects now but soon you will by starving an engine and turbo

Thanks apagan. I just let people go with the old way of thinking, unless I know them personally. I smile on the inside, when they argue.

The maker recommends 20W-40 for hot weather. Anyone using it? Has anyone ever seen 20W-40?

I see your thinking but don't the heat of the Turbo break down the viscosity??? If what you are saying is that thinner oil is better for a Turbo, then why are most engine builders running 15 or 20w-50??? Why are they not pushing 0w-20???
I had always ran 5w-30 then I switched to SSO 0w-30, then to Dominator 10-30, and now that I have the FP Red, I switched to 10w-40 and it take a while to heat up. Now, my car feels like it don't want to go, untill it is warmed up.
When I talked to a rep at Amsoil they told me to run Dominator 5w-20
