Hi all,
I am considering one of the new third row Subaru SUV’s soon, the Subaru Ascent. It is powered by the FA24 direct injection turbo engine. The engine is new but built on the existing FA20 that is in Forester XT and WRX’s.
My concern is the volatility and evaporability of the genuine Subaru 0w20, which is what I will be using. The oil is made by Idemitsu corporation but I don’t know the specifics. Subaru has been using 0w20 in the FB series engines since around 2013, and this is the first turbo that calls for 0w20 (the FA20 requires 5w30).
The reason of my concern is because the volatility and Noack seems to be linked to carbon buildup on the DI motors in general, so I am trying to see if I can find one with a low Noack, under 7%.
Thanks!
