Hmm.... maybe I'll consider changing over consider we drive practically the same car.

19 Subaru Legacy 5000 Mile OCI Out: QSUD + Subie Filter In: Mobil 1 Extended + Subie Filter

I used QSUD for my 1000 mile break oil change and recently changed it out 5000 miles later. Honestly, I doubt at this point which would clean better. I don't know if I'd go back go QSUD as I have a fairly large collection already of Mobil1 and Magnatec but I'd run it again, no hesitation.

I generally stick with the major brands. I used to go for PUP but they're so expensive and limited when they come down in price. It's been Mobil 1 Extended or Castrol GTX Magnatec for me. Nothing against house brands. Sales price usually helps me pick. I even went with Quaker State because it...

Originally Posted by SlavaB Where did you get Magnatec on sale? I decided to run my Kia on it moving forward as UOAs are awesome I got them from WM and Amazon a year ago. They were on sale for $16 or so for the 5Q. Now I see the prices are up.

Originally Posted by SlavaB $24 for 5qt of PUP is a premium? Just found it for $20. It occasionally goes on sale like now but my current stash is already going to last a couple years methinks. Maybe if we get it down to half of my current stash.

Just getting ready for kids. Plus saving money for a second fun car. I also get bored easy so I tend to change cars frequently. The longest I've held a car was the Porsche and that was 6-7 years. I plan on keeping the Subarus until they break down. Minimum 10 years. Plus, we moved into the...

Probably won't be picking up any engine oil anytime soon. Got them all on sale. Wish I had some Pennzoil Ultra but they're rare these days and not worth the extra premium.

I feel like it's the battery that that has most issue these days when temps drop so suddenly.

Don't know if it's as relevant but I try to avoid dealer anything. They completely overfilled my oil and coolant during last service. I opened up the engine bay and saw the coolant that covered the whole engine bay. Checked the oil and it too was overfilled. I called up the dealer and they told...

No issues here. Subaru started right up during polar vortex. -24 overnight. Currently on Subaru 0w-20. New car.
