Amsoil with NAPA Gold filters.
Been running it for 2100 miles in my 04 wrx, changed from dino at 3000. Going to be sending in a sample to have it tested in a week or two, will try to post results of the test when they come in.

Was using synthetic.. now I'm a cheepo.
Don't see noticeable improvement with synthetic, so I'm now running Quaker state 10-30. The dealer fills with 10-30 by default.
