the 3sgte gets hot + the turbo glows red/orange hot under normal use.
Use 5w30 when its freezing out.

HAHA. He's in southern California. Dont ever use 5w-30 in this motor with that many miles in CA (unless you live in the Tahoe or Mammoth or something during the winter. It'll drink all 4 quarts in about 2500 miles

I wasnt disagreeing with you about the cold temps/5w-30 part, I was just saying that, in my LA experience, I went through much less oil using 10w vs. 5w. I also noticed that my car ran crappy or crappier using 5w. Must be my rings and massive blow by. I do have 180K on the car.
Makes me wonder if your crappy running experience was caused by something else or if you were using a crappy oil brand.
