Nearly everyone worries about a dry start after an oil change, to avoid it, we prefill the oil filter and would like to crank the engine over until oil pressure builds up. But, if stopping fuel isn't possible while cranking, is pulling the ignition fuse to keep the spark plugs from firing...

Latest numbers on the left using M1 5w30 and oem oil/air filter, 57k on the car.

Latest numbers on the left using M1 5w30 and oem oil/air filter, just over 49k on the car. Seems like the wear numbers went up a decent amount this interval, but still are pretty good. Refilled it with M1 5w30 again and will see how it holds up after 8k mi. Looks like the 10w30 may work a bit...

Not much new here, wear numbers are better than ever. Previous report/thread here. Almost at 42k total miles with this analysis. Latest numbers on the left, and then moving from left to right: 7,490 mi, M1 10w30, OEM air/oil filter 7,382 mi, Amsoil 5w30, OEM air/oil filter 7,666 mi, M1 5w30...

Amsoil ASL 5w30, 2003 Subaru WRX 2.0 Turbo, 7,382 miles on the oil which took about 5 1/2 months, OEM air and oil filter. 34,294 miles total on the car. There was about 1 quart of 10w30 Syntec in there too, the sump holds a bit more than 5 quarts with a filter change. Halfway through the...

M1 5w30, 6,189 miles, 11 months, 83,457 mi total on the car. 1.6l 4cyl engine. Car is daily driven with a 10 mile mostly freeway commute in light traffic. Analysis is by Blackstone Labs. Most recent interval is on the left, the previous change on the right was on an unknown dino oil, 4,500...

Posting this here, found it over on NASIOC. The car has about 15k miles on the clock and about half-way into this interval (3k mi) the ECU was reflashed for more power, but this resulted in some pinging. Air filter is stock. Elements with ** indicate higher than average wear metals. Format =...

I found this on WRX Forum, it's not my car. See the thread for more details. It appears that the car is stock, but is probably using an oiled air filter (K&N?). 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX 42414 miles on car 8843 miles on oil Oil Type: Amsoil 10w30 Spectrochemical Analysis ppm Iron: 13 Chromium: 2...

I pulled this report off of NASIOC. Left column is last result for 3500mi. The right column is the last interval, between 3000-3500mi. Total 17500mi on the engine. Lead is abnormally high for a WRX engine, not sure what to think of it. Car is stock. ? marks unknown data. What could be causing...

My Subaru WRX's transaxle's synchros could use some help. The tranny in these cars is notorious for being notchy. I've heard that Schaeffer's #132 will help the synchros grab better with good EP properties. Sounds like the perfect match for the WRX's transaxle fluid which houses the tranny and...

7,666mi, Mobil1 5w30 2003 Subaru WRX with 26,912mi on the clock. Proline (generic Purolator) oil filter, Amsoil air filter. Typical driving is a 22mi commute about 70% highway speeds. Mild weather (southern CA). Latest report is on the left. Previous changes are as follows: 7,247 mi on 5w30...

Somehow, I managed to cross or half thread the Amsoil SDF20 on my WRX while installing the filter today. It started threading on normally for about a turn, then became tough to turn. I backed it off and tried again a couple more times with the same results. Looking at the threads on the filter...

You can see my last results here: 2003 Subaru WRX 2.0t, 7,247mi Mobil1 5w30 I'm thinking about trying another oil besides M1, namely RedLine or Amsoil. But I'm having a hard time justifying paying more than twice as much for those oils vs M1, especially when M1 is obviously working very well...

Here's links to the last two analysis threads: 5,339 mi on Witches Brew 3,305 mi on Mobil 1 0w30 And the latest report from Blackstone: Wear holding steady except for iron which took a jump over last time. The engine is aluminum heads and block, so not sure where the additional iron would...

Results look outstanding. Last change was performed at dealer using unknown brand of 5w-30 dino oil. Refilled with 5w-30 Mobil1 and will run out to 6000 miles for another analysis. Only thing I can think of which might have caused these low readings was that the engine had sat overnight before...

I'm going to be swapping out the fluid in a manual tranny '95 Civic soon, the manual calls for 10w30 motor oil (which I thought was strange). Should I go ahead and put in my favorite synthetic motor oil, or is there a better alternative?
