No, no fight, just a slaughter. Turtles get Oscar Dinner.

No fighting. Only turtle chasing oscar.
How big is your turtle? What kind of turtle? Tank size? How many oscars?
If it is red ear, then you can because baby oscars are fast and red ears can't catch them with their mouth. I suggest a bigger tank like a 30 gallon tank. After the oscar grow more get a larger tank. Give a lot of space for the oscar to run away from the turtle. Don't put too much decoration.
Personally, I wouldn't put them together because turtles get the tank dirty fast (faster than the oscar.). Oscar likes their home clean. Also, turtles eat fish. Having four turtles would differently increase the chance of a oscar being eaten by a turtle. I have a kenya cichlid with my turtle in a 30 gallon. I only have one of each. It has been two month and they are living peacefully. The cichlid is 4 in. and so is the turtle (well! the turtle is much bigger.)
Hope this helps! I learned this through experience.

The answer really depends on the size of your tank and the size of your turtles but I really wouldn't recommend it. I also wouldn't recommend one oscar for anything LESS then a 55 gallon tank. They are really dirty fish that produce a lot of waste, turtles also produce a lot of waste, you'd be cleaning your tank more often then you already are. If the oscars are small and the turtles are big, the oscars would just get eaten. Basically, it's a bad idea.

I wouldn't reccomend it. Oscars need different living conditions than turtles. The turtles may hurt the oscars if they are bigger.

Only if you want your oscars to be eaten, I tried it out my self and the turtles loved their food, the fish were eaten up in no time
It doesn't matter what fish you put with your turtles, they are all food for them
Sorry

If you need to ask you should probably not try it.
