I'm needing to put more oil in my 02 wrx. Do you people have any recommendations on what brand i should get. I already know I'm getting synthetic.

 

Mobile 1 10W30 or better yet 15W30

 

+1 to mobil1 its good stuff and not too much money.

i suggest getting it from walmart in the big 5liter jug for like 21 bucks. saves you like 9 bucks.

 

been using this forever and 60,000 mile later it's still running strong.

 

Do you guys prefer 10w-30 > 5w-30 ?

 

GC 0w-30

 

Redline 5w30 since 3750 miles. Now at 54K miles.

I used 10w40 last summer, I think it was too thick, didnt feel quite as responsive.

 

Ive heard lots of good stuff about this...german castrol

 

I use 15w30 and it's not very good.

You can get a good deal from Costco for like around 23 bux or something..

 

Is Mobil 1 cheaper at Walmart? I always buy mine from Costco and it seems to be a pretty decent deal. I switch mine from 5w30 to 10w30, but not on purpose. I sometimes forget what I am running and buy something different. I personally can't feel the difference. 5w30 is better for colder climates though.

 

If you're buying the individual quart bottles of M1, Costco is the way to go, but the 5 quart jugs at Walmart are the best (regular) prices anywhere, that I've seen. You can sometimes get better deals with coupons or sales from the chain stores like Kragen, Pep Boys, etc...

 

I've never been able to find it...

Mobil 1 is so much more common, just go to costco for a 6 quart box for something like $22.

 

The only place you can get it is Autozone... but not all of them. FD777 has a hitlist on BITOG of the ones he's been able to find them:

Costco raised it's prices to $27. Buy it at Walmart in the big jug. It's the cheapest going.
