Went to Kragen but they were charging almost $10 a quart, wtf BBQ.


I'd get Total or Swepco but it's le-far.

Our subies are really friggin picky with oil, these are the 3 that don't burn like crazy and perform flawlessly. Amsoil is another good one I use but it's also le-far for me to drive right now.

I haven't had any issues with Subaru fully synthetic oil. Burns off a lot less than Mobil1 did and it costs less than M1.

Even around $9 from Amazon @ $106 for 12qts of 5/30 RP. I haven't really seen a local place that has it cheap.

Picked up 5 quarts for $45 at Wallyworld, which happens to be like 1.5 mins from my house.

Still a rip off, but worth it.

Yeah. that's where I used to go, but it's too far to drive just to buy oil... If I was going to make a drive I'd rather use Total or Swepco.

Maybe Amazon? If it is on Amazon prime I can order it for you and it will be free 2 day shipping and no sales tax. You live pretty close to me if I remember. I will check right now

Edit: just saw your post that you got it at Walmart
