As the title says, I am looking for a virtual unicorn of a motor oil for my 2014 turbo Subaru. Subaru requires synthetic 5w30 with SM / SN with the "energy conserving / resource conserving" certification or ILSAC GF-4 / GF-5 starburst certification. I've pursued the SAE directory and can't find any cj4 oil with either energy conserving or ILSAC certs. Makes sense as lube suppliers probably see no need to spend the money to maintain certification for a product not marketed to a certain application. There are numerous 5w30 with sm/sn certs but do not have the "energy conserving" bull cert on them.
Does anybody know of where I can find the oil with the cents I'm looking for? I'm needing oil with actual certs due to concerns of complying with warranty. Of course I should be ok with any good 5w30 synthetic with a warranty mandated 7500 mile OCI. But I know what it takes to develop a HDEO and I'd like the best possible for this little 4 banger. Now, it's just sad the dealership mistakenly used 0w20 on the first two oil changes! Thanks.
