Anonymous 9--Addenda to my previous response: You have a transmission oil cooler. The oil is routed to inside the radiator in a separate compartment, cooled, and returned to the tranny. Look near the top of the radiator on the driver's side, and you will see a 3/4" o.d. hose with a funny looking clamp around it. This is coming from the transmission and going through separate veining inside the radiator to cool it. Oil to the turbo is via the engine, gets very hot, and this is why you should use Mobil 1. Hot oil will drain from the turbo quickly after you shut the engine off, and on start up the turbo is starved. It's full synthetic which saves you on this one. With a non-turbo engine it's not so important, but with turbo, yes. Dick
