Changed my oil at 10065 and sent it in for testing. No idea where that titanium is from.

Although it's a different lab, this VOA also shows titanium at 2 ppm's. Titanium is used as an anti-wear additive. PU VOA -Dennis Last edited by bluesubie; 03-11-2013 at 05:52 PM. |

Thanks for posting up, I updated the first post with your link. The titanium was probably in your oil which I can't say for sure because nobody has run pennzoil on this thread yet. Maybe one of the other guys will know for sure.

Throwing this in there for science. My 3rd oil change, 2nd gearbox fluid change.
Oil went from Stock -> Amsoil -> Amsoil -> Amsoil Gearbox went from Stock -> Motul Gear 300 -> Amsoil Quote:

Any thoughts on the gearbox change interval?
I'm at 15.5k and have been waiting for free time to change my diff and gearbox fluid since 7k ... |

I presume that you listed your total oil capacity instead of actually listing how much oil you had to add during the interval. How much did you add? -Dennis |

I'd say change both now, I used Amsoil for tranny and diff though they're different specs for each. |

The BRZed shop manual says to add 5.7 US qts to the engine when replacing the oil and filter. It seems like an amazing amount

Those of us who replace the factory fill with something better like Redline MT-90, Motul 300 gear etc etc should be able to extend that easily. Diff oil is every 30K. There's nothing stopping you dropping it early & replacing with something from Redline, Amsoil or Motul. |

edit: I got most of the info I was looking for.
What I'm still trying to figure out, is if a failsafe way to determine the difference (from the bottle itself) between the Scooby SM and SN formulations was ever discovered?
