I really don't get why people seem to think that all Mobil1 oil is bad based on a few bad experiences with Energy Conserving M1 5W-30. And it also amazes me that there are knuckleheads out there that...

For those of us without a filter bypass set up, 4k intervals on SSO on a pre-2011 are a good idea IMO. You're probably fine going longer without the screens in place, but I would follow Amsoil's...

AAP's web site says that BC v2 isn't eligible for promotional discounts or special offers. Is it different in the store or does it just depend on the person ringing up your purchase?

Is this oil even synthetic? I would be asking for some Esso XD-3 0W-30 if I were you. It's a more robust oil that would be better suited for a modified LGT. Also, I would email Toromont and ask them...

I doubt very much that the last oil used is a 5W-30. I've seen 5W-30's thicken with very long intervals, but the viscosity on that oil is thicker than Rotella T6 5W-40. No way, especially with the...

Maybe it's 5W-40, but whatever it is, I wouldn't run it again. A very weak additive pack with low levels of ZDDP, no boron, and very little detergents/dispersants.

gathermewool over at iwsti and bitog is running the Amsoil 5W-30 Euro in his modified STI. At 6,854 miles, the TBN was 1.4. I believe Polaris/Oil Analyzer's Inc would flag this as a problem. Looks...

In other words, M1 ESP is girly man oil because of it's lower ZDDP levels.;) I wouldn't exceed 3,750 miles on the oil if you drive hard, or maybe 5k if you're an easy driver. Your best bet is to do a...

Most people base RP uoa comments on the 5W-30 or 10W-30. Try 0W-40, 5W-40, or High Performance Street.

I thought you might say this. The reason that I asked is because I wasn't sure if Dominator had enough detergents/dispersants to handle a 5-6k mile OCI in a Subaru turbo.

Mobil1 0W-40 (SN version) actually held up well for me on a 5k run. But then again, I did need to add a 1.5 quarts make-up oil (burned through 1 quart on a 1,200 mile trip) so that probably helpd the...

Maybe I'm the only one that knows it, but Royal Purple and Mobil1 make excellent, robust oils ideal for turbos. 5W-30 Resource Conserving is not the only grade that these companies make.

Word on the street is that Edge 0W-40 is popping up in some AAP's. Oddly enough, it seems to be more common in the Southeast.

Subaru dealers can vary a lot, depending how many unneccessary add-ons that they can get away with. Engine oil additive, fuel additive, set tire pressure, blinker fluid, etc. :)
