Try diesel oil if you want max protection. Think of it this way, a diesel is a much higher stress engine then a gas engine. Static CR of 18-22:1 plus 35-70psi of boost with EGT's that climb to 1700-2000. Also you can't run standard motor oil in a diesel as it will burn off, so how much better is diesel oil
. Something to think about

Diesel oils sometimes have detergents, that arent welcome in a gasoline motor.
Ive heard of people doing this, and the oil turning frothy. Although this was many years ago.
I run Motul 300V 5/40

I don't run 15psi but still on the stocker so that's gotta count for something right?
Anyways, my brother works for a division of Ethyl that tests oils/fuels/additives/etc. Says Castrol GTX is probably the worst oil you can run...rarely does it pass their 3G test where they run an engine at like 80% load for 300 hours (I think those numbers are right)...it sludges up real bad and the engines usually never make it until the end before breaking.
He said Mobil 1 is the best synthetic but for an engine like mine; turbo, high bearing loads, & high heat, Rotella T is what i should run....so I do.

50 weight oil for me would shoot my oil pressure thru the roof..
