0W-40 is a little thin for the air-cooled turbo..

I have been using it for 7 years now, with outstanding results when I have torn engines down and turbochargers... There are three basic oil additives on the market.. Zinc, Teflon, and Chlorinated Parifin (Energy Release)

Snake oil in a bottle...

Yasir maybe in Chicago in the winter, or Anchorage Alaska... I'd make the switch to a 15 or 20W The weight you are using is to thin..

That's for the water cooled cars. My owners manual says 10-40, 15-40, or 15-50.
