I did what Jay784 said but with the Valvoline. On the next change it will be exactly the same except Mobil 1 instead of Valvoline.

All of the combinations are wrong!
For a WRX MT-5 AWD 3.7 QU.
Of Penziol synthetic With 3 oz of the GM LSD additive!!

For STI MT-6 AWD 4.3 QU.
Of Penziol synthetic With 4 oz of the GM LSD additive!!
