I did it. Walmart took back 6 brand new un-opened quarts of M1 0w-40, no receipt, and I traded it in for Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20, and they gave me a gift card for $3.40 too! woo-hoo! (They were out of all M1 0w-20, but I like Pennz synth OK.)
Sorry, bananaman82 (your mascot is:
), back to your thread topic:
Therefore, Walmart is ez-going on returns of course, so just return the M1 5w-30 after you take a picture of the receipt and save it. Then trade it for 0w-40 and use that.
As far as your questions about cornering, that should not be a problem with these engines since the oil pickup is very low in the oil pan, and as long as you are NOT running the oil 2 quarts too low, it will always pump oil with no interruptions for lateral g-forces.
Its important to check your oil level once a week or so, and always look for leaks on the ground. I did see the WRX owner's manual makes no mention of a low oil level warning (only oil pressure).
Wow, WRX's have a differential oil temperature sensor and warnings. Never heard of that. Interesting. They really expect you to drive this Fast & Furious-ly, don't they? Then their oil pickup had better be low in the pan, its their fault if they don't.
