synthetic motor oils For Turbo & SuperCharged maxima

I would like to know if it's ok to use the synthetic oil in a turbo or supercharged maxima with high miles?

I have a 98 MAxima SC'd and I am thinking of switching over to Synthethic Oil.

AMSOIL

They say AMSOIL provides a wide variety of high quality synthetic motor oils tailored to fit the needs of your automobile, SUV, performance vehicle, motorcycle or 4-stroke engine.

Tests prove that AMSOIL provides superior protection than Mobil 1.

AMSOIL SAE 60 Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is designed for high horsepower racing engines, typically supercharged and alcohol-burning or nitro-fueled, and requiring a high viscosity oil to resist the thinning effects of fuel dilution.

AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is formulated specifically for wear protection and friction reduction in the extreme service conditions of racing. It has been proven on-track to bring down high engine oil sump temperatures by 20 degrees F, which speaks directly to its ability to reduce friction, promote power and inhibit wear.


MOBIL 1

Mobil 1 10W-30, Multi-vehicle Formula, is the most advanced performance synthetic engine oil designed to provide the maximum cleaning power, wear protection and performance reserve to keep engines all types of cars running smooth and clean. Mobil 1 10W-30 exceeds the requirements of the industry standards required for both new and older gasoline and diesel powered automobile engines. Mobil 1 10W-30 is approved for all type of vehicle models and types of driving.

Mobil 1 10W-30 is recommended for all types of modern vehicles, including high-performance turbo-charged, supercharged gasoline and diesel multi-valve fuel injected engines found in passenger cars, SUVs, light vans and trucks.
Mobil 1 10W-30 is general purpose engine oil for all types of cars, exceeding the needs of 2001 newer gasoline cars
Mobil 1 is not recommended for 2-Cycle or aviation engines, unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.

I know this is alot to read but I'd like some feedback from you guys who are using synthethic oil.

Re: synthetic motor oils For Turbo & SuperCharged maxima

i'd go with mobil 1. it's what i use and if you look around at a lot of new performance based vehicles
(mercedes, ferrari's, porsche's, BMW), the oil filler cap says "mobil 1 only" right on it.
