Synthetic Oil vs Conventional Oil | Best Engine Oil For Turbocharged Cars

Synthetic Engine Oils

All synthetic oils are not created equal! In fact, the majority of name brand synthetic oils on the market seem to be more concerned with "fuel efficiency" and "emissions" compliance than wear protection and longevity! We recommend you choose from the following motor oils based on their high ZDDP content and corresponding wear protection. We've even included a few conventional petroleum based options that can be sourced for less than $5/quart if budget is your main concern. Please contact your MAPerformance sales rep with any questions regarding motor oil weight recommendations or availability.
