Its ok as long as you're not running an oil only cooled turbo, don't wanna coke the bearings with dyno oil. But a stocker should be fine I've always ran dyno oil in my WRX and now my STi until i got the Green turbo in it now I gotta switch.

Dino oil should be fine. Just get it changed back to whatever your prefer at your next oil change.

You'll be fine. Just make sure you change it on time. You can't get away with not changing dino like you can with synth. Though, if you're like most people on this forum, you've got a minor oil-change complex and change it all the time.

Thus, I doubt it'll be a problem.
