Castrol GTX Classic 20W-50 contains a typical Zinc level of 1310 ppm and a typical Phosphorus level of 1199 ppm.

Is this good with a turbo car, Will this oil work well with a 86 Buick turbo car with no catalytic converter

Just my opinion but with a turbo spinning 80k rpm I would be hesitant using 20w50. I would use a lighter weight like 10w40 or less. If you didn't have a turbo I would say it would be fine because you don't have a catalytic converter to foul up.

Can this be used for a air cooled 1970 vw beetle?

What are your thoughts on using this in mowers, generators and pressure washers where a 20W-50 is acceptable?

Castrol GTX Classic 20W-50 is a conventional four-stroke motor oil that can be used in applications calling for a 20W-50 motor oil with an API rating of SJ or prior as long as the application it is used in should not use motor oil with high zinc content. This formula should not be used in modern engines with catalytic converters or wet clutch applications.
