In reference to this thread about the engine failure.

I went in to check on it plus see about their policy on loaners and apparently I'd always get a free loaner in the past but now Subaru charges $35 a day. I smell something...
Either way I asked about the engine etc....A tech asked what oil I use. I said synthetic and always 5w30 with a few 0w30's Castrol being one I most used in that category. He just shook his head why would you use a 0 anything. I reply it's the cold viscosity not the operating one especially in this winter it's useful. Then he said synthetics aren't good anyway. No turbo car should use them.
I just stopped talking because literally what could I have said. So much bad knowledge in such a short time. [censored] SUBARU uses a 5w30 synthetic stock. The worst part is he is a mechanic. What other things does he have dead wrong?
This is just like a Walmart conversation when buying oil, viscosity isn't important. Oil is oil or so I'm told.
