Are all the common brands sold at walmart group 3?
Trying to find a good bang for your buck for turbo application, but if I have to go redline I will
Here you go, this one may be hard to find but Motorcraft full-synthetic is similar and available everywhere. Kendall GT-1 30hd has flash point 450f, but is not synthetic. 30hd does perform like 15w, but api doesn't use a 15w30 rating.
For long highway trips, 10w30 is best.
For short highway trips, 5w30 is best.

455F = 235C. Pretty good. I'm gaining more respect for C-P as I go along.
It look even more impressive when compare to Amsoil ASL 5w30 at 1/2 the cost.
Amsoil ASL 5w30
Flash Point - 442'F
Cold Cranking Viscosity@-30'c - 4911 cP
Kendall GT-1 Fully Syn 5w30
Flash Point - 455'F
Cold Cranking Viscosity@-30'c - 4900 cP

I disagree. True synthetic 10w30 lubricants still have a place in high performance cars. A true synthetic 10w30 will flow very much the same as a petroleum base 5w30 @ 32*F and higher. If you have no need for cold flow performance under 32*F, then the two specs you gain with a 10w30 lubricant are well worth it.
1. Greater shear stability (My used oil analysis samples of Amsoil 10w30 ATM do not shear at all...not even 1%)
2. Lower NOACK (Amsoil 10w30 ATM NOACK is only 5.7%. I have very little oil collecting in the supercharger now compared to the "recommend" lubricant for this engine.)
Original Poster....
Choose a 100% true synthetic that contains NO refined petroleum for your high performance turbo application and sleep with ease at night. You will have zero issues.
