Oil wieght for turbo motors

This is not a "dis", as you have given me good advice before, but I've used Mr.Nickleye's high mileage formula of 20w-50 summer, 10w-40 winter, and I think the man knows his stuff. While my engine is not about to drop out of the car, I would have to assume that tolerances when new are now slightly off. Anyway, I've run this formula for a year now and have had no problems whatsoever. I change my oil every 3 months and do not seem to be losing any. Now the guy with the rebuilt motor is another story, I'm sure he'll have tighter tolerances and won't need to go with the 20w-50, but for me it works. Thanks Mr.Nickleye.
