Just picked up a 2015 WRX and I have a couple lubricant related questions.
I'm sure this question has been answered before, but what are you guys thoughts on a good oil for this car. I have been leaning towards one of the Amsoil 5W-30s since I have good luck with Amsoil in my other rigs and I am a dealer, but I am open to other reccomendations as well.
Amsoil recommends the 5W-30 Signature series, but I am concerned about the 3.2 HTHS and it being on the lighter end of the 30s.
The next option is the 5W-30 European Car Formula. The HTHS of 3.6 and the KV of 12.2 make this look to be an excellent choice, but the TBN of 5.8 doesnt seem to be too desirable although it does seem to hold up well in my TDi under 10k OCIs.
The next oil which looks to be a decent performer is the Amsoil 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel. HTHS of 3.5 KV of 11.7 looks decent although a bit higher Noack Volatility than the other two.
And of course there is always the factory Subaru 5W-30 which I dont know anything at all about.
Let me know what you guys think of these oils and also if you have any other recommendations.
Thanks
