Awesome 850 Turbo - 940 oil question 850 1994

Howdy all Brickers...a newbie to the brickboard. I just bought a 1994 850 turbo wagon and we love it. The power is awesome and the ride is tight. The car was serviced every 5,000 miles on time and was serviced by the same dealer it was bought from. Everything is in excellent condition. My question is...Now that the car is at 95,000 miles should I change engine oil type, weight, or time between changes? The dealer uses Valvoline 10w30. Will certain oils help/hurt the turbo. I also have a 1992 940 Turbo sedan with 155,000 miles. This also has used 10W30 its entire life. It uses (burns) a quart per 2000 miles. Is this because of the turbo? Should I be worried about that consumption? Is there a sure fire oil out there that could solve this problem, and spare my 850 T from using this much in the future?

Thanks for your help
