Changing Oil on Turboed Motor
I had kind of a stupid question, but I want to be sure. I just bought a 97 Eagle Talon Tsi and am planning on chaning the oil. Is changing the oil on a turboed motor any different than changing the oil on a civic? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Nope, same thing. Except for everything being in different spots it's exactly the same.
It would be wise to use good synthetic oil, this will help prolong the life of your turbocharger. Don't buy high range multi-viscosity oils, these have a higher tendancy to coke your turbochargers bearings than a low range oil. Also, don't slack off when it comes to changing the oil on your new Tsi; turbocharged cars should have their oil changed more frequently than an NA car. You own a high performance car now, maintain it like one.
