I have a heavily autocrossed (Autox'ed since 2002, 2 drivers each in STS and STX at Nat's last year, 9th in STS) 2001 Impreza 2.5rs 5mt and use Motul Gear 300 in the trans and Redline 75w90 in the rear diff. (since approx 15,000 miles) I recently changed out the Motul after approx 50,000 miles...

I mean't to say: I had been using 3 qts M1 EP 10w30 and 1 M1 15w50. I have been awake too long. Doug

I plan on using M1 HM 10w30 in my autocrossed 2001 Subaru 2.5RS because of the higher viscosity and extra anti-wear additives. I had been using 3 qts M1 EP 10w30 and 1 M1 20w50. I think it will be perfect for this application. Doug

I have a 2001 Impreza 2.5RS with 66,000 miles and have used M1 10W30 (currently EP) since 3500 miles (except for last winter when I used GC 0w30). The times I noticed more noise had to do with what oil filter I was using as opposed to the oil. I used Pure One's and noticed the engine seemed...

I have a 2001 2.5RS and use regular Purolator 14460's. Because our oil filters hang straight down there is no need for an anti-drain back valve. The Purolators don't have them. My car has 58,000 miles on it and have never changed the crush washer. I use Mobil 1 EL 10W30. Doug

My local Wal Mart has Pennzoil in 5qt jugs that work out to $1.35 a quart. Havoline is $1.26. The only place I can find Chevron is TSC for $1.28 (10w30 only), A local oil distributor can get me cases of Chevron 5w30 for $1.46 a quart. People that are getting these oils for .99 and .69 are lucky...

With a superior base oil (Group II+) and a custom blended additive pak (as opposed to a premixed one) why isn't Pennzoil the hands down choice over other regular dino oils? (5w30/10w30) I am not a Pennzoil bigot, I had always heard that Pennzoil sludged up engines. I have been using Quaker...

I have a 2001 2.5RS and use a Purolator L14460. I have tried the Pureone but got too much engine noise so I switched back. (My assumption is the filter media is more restrictive than the Plus) My local Advance auto sells the L14460 for $2.89 and the PL14460 for $5.99. My oil seems to get dirty...

I called on Monday to get a Dyson kit and it hasn't arrived yet. I need to change my oil on Saturday before a race on Sunday. I've had GC 0w30 in for approx 5000 miles and would really like to see an analysis. Is there an acceptable way to take/store a sample until my kit arrives...

I have a 2001 Subaru 2.5RS. I have used the PL14460 and also had more engine noise on startup. I switched back to the L14460 and the noise went away. I attributed the increased noise to the more restrictive filtering media. There doesn't seem to be a difference in the time it takes my oil to get...

The Super Wal-Mart by my house has had M1 for $3.78 for the past couple of years. 2-3 months ago the 5qt jugs jumped to $22.78 but the quarts remained $3.78. Approx 1.5 months ago the quart price jumped to $4.88 and the shelves were full. I checked last week and the 5w30, 10w30 and 15w50 were...

Subarus with the 2.5l are very easy. The oil filter hangs straight down in the front. I don't even have to jack it up.............Doug
