1. Vehicle: 2011 Subaru WRX (Lightly Modified, can provide a list of modifications, block is stock with roughly 125k miles)
2. Recommended oil: 5w-30 (Currently using AMSoil 5w-30 Signature series)
3. Wisconsin
4. Easy/Medium, with some spirited driving.
5. My commute is being reduced for work, however, it will be highway driving, and I do let my car warm up before driving, especially in this really cold weather
6. Known Problems: Having some oil consumption issues, nothing crazy I'm told but roughly half a stick which seems to be 1/2-1qt every 3,000 miles or so, I've been just topping it off, but considering changing oil to something else.
I've been contemplating moving to Motul 5w-40 8100 x-cess, but it's not easily accessible locally, which I'd prefer, however not against having to order it, I would just have to order extra for topping off purposes. I know the AMSoil is a good oil, but I've been contemplating stepping up to 5w-40 to see if this would help in the consumption at all. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
