I wouldnt put a 30 rated oil in a scoob, too thin for the turbocharger (makes your engine sound nice and tappy)

Just looked in my owner's manual and either grade of oil can be used although it states that for a turbo madel 5w 30 is prefered...I guess they should know best. Thanks for your help!

A 5w-40 or 5w-30 is what you need if the car is unmodded.
