Just put Motul 300V in my car for my upcoming track day. Before that I was running Eneos Sustina (100% street driving, though a bit "spirited" lol)

You should use 2 stroke oil. It runs the best with these motors.

If you have to ask... use OE-spec 0W-20 synthetic or something identical to that.
As for what brand etc, it makes no difference. -alex |

Yes there is a thread like this... Which searching would've found it, since it was the first result. To answer you though, My first oil change I did the Subaru filter http://www.frsport.com/Genuine-OEM-O...Fe1QOgodgUEAIg and motul 0W-20 http://www.frsport.com/Racing-Motor-...FeUF7AodShoAqA |

I'll second that. The TGMO (Toyota's house brand) gets very good reviews on the oil forums, and the price is reasonable. I believe it is made by Exxon/Mobil. The Subaru house brand is also a decent oil. If you plan on doing your own oil changes, buy a case of 12 quarts, and they'll usually shoot you a lower price. As for the filter, depending on how savvy the parts guy is, you could end up with a few different filters (blue ones, black ones, tall ones, short ones, etc) The correct one is part number 15208AA130.

I changed the factory oil at 1200 miles with Motul 300V 0w20. I've used 300V in my past cars and it's never failed me. at 5500, I decided to switch to Millers Oils Nanodrive CFS 0w20. Read this:
