I've tried a lot of oils in my turbo car, including Mobile 1 and Rottela synthetic... but my engine temps will stay the same.. IIRC around 190 -200* F then I tried Valvoline VR1 20w50 and worked the same. The one and only thing is that the oil has to be change right after 3000 miles, no excuse; or once I push it hard I will hear my lifters tapping.

I just switched from a 5w-30 to a Mobil1 0w-40 yesterday and my car is running great! That 0 weight makes it run amazing in the cold.

15W40 Amsoil Synthetic
Royal Purple also makes a 15W40

I find that this weight doesnt have the classic burn off that is so common with a 5W or even some 10W oils.
