What oil will you use? - Page 13 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I am so JDM I will run sake in my AS1

Griever423 · 01-20-2012, 12:16 AM

Nothing but Motul 300v for me here. The BRZ will be seeing time trials and the occasion track day so I'll be wanting really good shear protection and fuel dilution.

Boxer engines (at least the turbo EJ ones) do not take well to mobil 1. NA boxer motors? I dunno, but I'm sticking with what I know works.

MrVito · 01-20-2012, 01:19 AM

AMSOIL

Mobil 1, Castrol Syntec, or Penzoil Platinum. Depends what's on sale for a 5Q jug @ Wally World

I feel the same way. The manufacturer knows what's best.

i use motul 300v. dunno if that has gotten any love yet.

i used to use enos but that crap granulized in my turbo and helped eat the seals.

I use LUBROMOLY 5W-40 and LOVE it!
Change it every 10,000kms! (even though its guarenteed to 20,000kms)
but may switch to the comparible ENEOS just to be more JDM

Always used Mobil1 synthetic, never been given any reason not to. Wix Gold or NAPA Blue filters, every time.

Never had to deal with cartridge filters though. All my Lexuses have been dropped off at my dealer because they give me great service and if I can't stab the filter with a screwdriver, I don't care to change the oil myself.

DSR2409 · 01-23-2012, 12:45 PM

After running Royal Purple in my Spec, I will only put Royal Purple Oil and filter in every car I own...I use Amsoil with a K&N filter on my wife's car, though, since it's only $6 and change a quart at O'Reilly's, and the only other oil I would put into my car.

When they remove the bowl of RP and still keep it spinning, think of cold starts (where the vast majority of engine wear can be attributed to).

WingsofWar · 01-23-2012, 12:53 PM

Had good experiences with Royal Purple and Mobil1 synthetic..on my 300zx (VG30DET), S14(KA24DET) and SC300(2jZ-GE)

And Castrol GTX on my Rx7(13B-T)

might stick to those brands

DSR2409 · 01-23-2012, 12:59 PM

Also, someone mentioned the BRZ/FRS will require 0w20...I don't know if that is confirmed, but it would make sense, since most newer cars are using that viscosity, and, to my knowledge, no one makes a conventional 0w20...

Just so you know Royal Purple no longer uses their Synerlec additive package in their regular oil. You have to buy Royal Purple HPS to get the "old" Royal Purple. The regular RP is now just a Group II base stock with common additives that everyone else uses.
