Originally Posted By: shpankey I know u don't want synth. But another vote here for Rotella T6 5w40. It's on the cheap end on price but Scoobie turbo's love this oil. +1. My '03 bugeye hybrid has never performed, sounded, or felt better than since I started using the Rotella 5w-40. It is...

oh yeah, quick mention about letting the turbo cool off...it is not necessary unless you are going full boost and turn the car off mid spool which obviously is never going to happen. Subaru's have oil and coolant cooled turbos and therefore, after you shut the car off the boiling coolant...

Hey man, I'm in Tampa, you're in S. FL so our environmental requirements are identical. The Rotella is without a doubt your best choice for your STI (IMO of course). The 0 weight German Castrol is very good as well but much more expensive, and then you have to sift through all the American...

^^^^ Curious what Subaru you had that caused these issues for you...sounds like an older GL. Either way, that stinks man...sorry to hear it! Subaru's are known for having overly loud piston slap fresh out of the box...especially the ej205 and ej257. Though, oddly enough not so much the ej255...

Originally Posted By: buster I find it VERY hard to believe M1 is causing engine bearing failures in these engines considering the amount of people that use Mobil 1 in so many high performance cars. I could be wrong though. I have to say that even though I'm the one it's happened to with no...

Hey guys...thanks for the replies. Sorry but I didn't have my account here setup to receive e-mails when someone else posts so I didn't realize you had...my bad I should preface this with the fact that I don't race on a track (have been to 1/4m track twice when the first engine had about 35k...

Originally Posted By: JoeFromPA Sooby - I'm completely serious when I say this: Try Mobil 1 15w50 ($22-24 from walmart in a 5-quart jub). Since you live in Florida, this is a great oil for you and probably a great choice for your highly tuned engine. Rotella would be nice too, but I bet the M1...

Originally Posted By: addyguy I've read that there have been some problems with M1 5W-30 causing (or not preventing) spun bearings in turbo Subaru's.

Wow...This is very promising, especially since you are in FL as well. I can't wait to "use up" the M1 that's in my car and switch to this. I'm actually considering just eating the cost of the M1 that's only 2 weeks old and switching now. I have a 2003 WRX Hybrid with an '09 STI ej257/2.5L block...
