Oil recommendation with bad turbo seals!

I have been offered a very good deal on some 10w50 Silkolene Pro S oil.

 

I was just wondering though, my turbo seals leak, so the car smokes a bit. Is there any oil that will smoke a bit less than the others. Or will they all be about the same.

 

I would have thought it was more of a viscosity issue than a brand to brand thing.

 

No matter what though I want what's best for the car, so will the Pro S stuff be the best stuff for the job still?

Pro S is the recommended best. No idea if you'll get more smoke though. Personally I'd rather look after the rest of the engine until you replace the seals. :)

See Oilmans tech reviews on the different oils for Supras for peace of mind. :)

 

Cheers, yep first and foremost I want whats best for the car. I thought I'd always go for the Silkolene stuff as it's what seems to be regarded as the best stuff . I think I will go with that then after the price I got quoted, £42.77 for 20L ;)

Can you get any more at that price, or even close to it?
