Noob question: what oil are you running?
Hey guys. First time Suby owner here out of the eastbay. Ive been doing some research on the forums (i-club Nasioc) about what oil people are running on there cars. I wanted to get some feedback on what the locals are using since we share pretty much the same weather and all. Ive ran mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30 on all my previous cars without a problem but ive been seeing a lot more negative reviews than positive. Ive also seen a lot of positive reviews on the Shell Rotella T6 5w-40. So just wanted to know what you all are running. thanks everyone.
Mobil 1. Used it on my 05 sti, saw track put 45k on the car, Had perfect compression.
Current 06 sti, perfect compression uses mobil 1.
Why you shouldn't trust people who tell you mobil 1 sucks? Because they are the same people who tell you its normal for the subaru to burn a quart of oil a month.
I've used mobil 1 on all my subies, never had an engine problem, my subarus have never burned oil.

i use shell rotella 5w40 never had any problems
I'm not saying its the very best, just that iclub gives mobil 1 a bad rap, and I have to totally disagree with the burning oil due to mobil 1. Most recently the sti (ewg fp green ~350whp) saw double day track day, 2 in a row@ t hill, oil needed = zero.
