Pleiades is the name of the constellation that adorns Subaru logos on their grilles.What a weird name for oil.

This seems to be a site with details about the Total Les Pleiades oil, but this does not mean that Subaru Japan only recommends these two oils IMO.Something interesting Subaru Japan now apparently only recommend 0W30 for regular cars and 10W50 for WRX STI's...I know in the past they used to recommend 5W30 and 5W40...
And the 10W50 not to be used in the F series engines FA20 FB20

I’m really bad at remembering people’s names but seem to easily remember things like Elf calling the 2.0 oil guzzling.as stated by total themselves it’s a bandaid oil for now discontinued engine family
What a weird name for oil.
Interestingly the 10W50 is different than the regular Total Quartz racing 10W50...that or the pdf wasn't updated (2014?).
Old news for an old engine.Thickies Unite!
Total Fina Elf, yes.Which name is weird? If you are referring to Elf that is a well known name in Europe. I think it’s part of Total now.
Their new engines could use it too.Old news for an old engine.
Not needed. The fuel dilution does a good job of keeping the DI engines topped up.Their new engines could use it too.
It’s not equal protection to an oil with a higher HT/HS, that’s physically impossible. It provides adequate protection under most driving conditions. That’s what the manufacturers state.Nonsense. 0w-20 offers equal protection and better fuel efficiency and is thus the logical choice for all car companies to spec globally, even where CAFE standards do not apply.
Go back and re-read that. I'm sure you'll find that it actually says 0w-20.

No, actually car companies spec. different oils where emissions are calculated differently.Nonsense. 0w-20 offers equal protection and better fuel efficiency and is thus the logical choice for all car companies to spec globally, even where CAFE standards do not apply.

Just trying to keep it real which seems like a losing battle these days.Get outta here with your thin water like oil.
