I have used the follwing oils in my S40. Valvoline, Amsoil XL7500, Schaeffer Supreme, and Mobil 1 - all 10W-30. The Mobil 1 followed closely by the Schaeffer's has been the quietest upon startup. Not one tick.

I would try not to use a non synthetic on a turbo car. The synth or even a blend will give better flow upon startup, thus no lifter tick and is more resistant to coking at high temps in the turbo.
