Personally i think its a waste of money. I think its utterly useless, if i were you id just stick to mobil 1 or lubro moly oils. I personally prefer lubro moly. You wong see or notice any difference if you use purple or mobil 1.

Quick question... Kind of a stupid one to BUT I'm Gona ask anyways cuz if never had a turbo car before. I do I need to change the oil, run it for a little bit then change it again to be sure all the oil in the turbo and lines flushed out?
