Oil change
 

It's time for it's first oil change on the brz. But was wondering what oil is everyone using ?

I use mobil 1

I was about to say OMG another oil thread? But I see you're in Hawaii so I'm not sure what's available there. Motul 300, Mobil 1, Amsoil, and a few others are the most common choices. Any of the name brand full synthetics will work great, nitpicking over one brand being worlds better than the other is like arguing one color is better than another. There are very slight differences but for all intents and purposes, they're all perfectly fine for our engines. 0w20, 5w20, and 5w30 are all within the recommended range, but 0w20 is what the factory recommends and will net the best mileage by a small margin because it's thinner. 5w30 would be good if you see really hot temps frequently, but I don't think that's an issue for you.

Some people have reported issues running Mobil 1 in Subaru's older EJ series engines, although I never did. The FA engine is a completely different animal and shares almost nothing with the EJs besides the flat four layout.

I am also using Mobil 1 (5w20) now in my BRZ and am seeing zero consumption.

So use whatever you want, just make sure it's a name brand full synthetic, check the level occasionally, and drive on. :cheers:

i use mobile 1. I've tried enos twice, but my car pulls way harder when I have mobile 1 in it.

Nice info guys I went with the Mobil 1 0w20 see how I like it.

Thanks for the info bro, I used to use Mobil 1 on my Sti but switched it to rotella and been using it for the past 4 years now

I use Mobil1 in my car but my friends with STIs use Royal Purple. I dont use RP cause I did feel like it would start thinning out when it got too hot but my STI friends use it. They said they were burning M1 and didnt have a problem running RP. My friend with a VW says his uncle has been putting RP in the car since he can remember and thats what the car has been using for the longest time.
