I switched to Penrite Sin 5W60 for my last change. I've now just done on 10K and the oil is still orange so I'll probably leave it in a little longer. Retails for around $70 at the big chains. I used to use Motul 10W40 and it was black after 5K.
I hadn't owned an N/A car for a long time before this one, it's amazing how boost detroys oil lol..
The last few times I've re-used the sump washer, anyone know who sells these? Wouldn't mind using a new one next time.
Which oil do you recommend?

Hot Rod, was this the first time you had used a synthetic in your car? It is very common for a synthetic or semi-syn to go black the first time.
