How long have you had your bugeye for? The subaru is rated for 5w 30 wt. I prefer to use Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil.

I haven't had good luck with mobil one. my motor seemed to consume it. I've had good luck with redline and royal purple.

AMSoil is the best synthetic in the US. If that didnt exsist, I would use Motul.
