Click to expand... It is better. There is always less wear from an oil with a higher HT/HS than one that is lower. Physics matters.

Next purchase look for Mobil-1 EP Triple Action. What model Subie is this? You don't show one in your Signature. Wait - is OBW supposed to mean Outback? What's the W represent?

Remove the seal from the oil sample container, but don’t open it. Turn the engine off. Go right under the car and remove the oil drain plug. Open the sample container and 3/4 fill it from the oil drain stream. Seal and label the container. Mail the used oil sample to the lab.
