Winter + Daily Driver Oil Selection
 

Hey guys,

this is for the engine oil, transmission oil and differential oil.

Engine Oil, I wanted to go max performance or performance plus with Amsoil
0W20
I also wanted to get Mobil 1... I am very hesitant. I don't know which to pick. I did go over the form but no one really covered winter perks.

For transmission and differential I will go Motul Gear 300. Do I have to get Motul Gear for LSD??

Should I buy those fluids for my car concerning I am a winter driver and for summer I am a daily driver (and spirited)?

Castrol professional OE or even their titanium is a muchbetter oil just so you know. The OE stuff can only be bought at some cardealers but the titanium is easier to find. It is around $15 or $16 per literthough so I hope that doesn’t matter. Iam also not a fan of motul, but each to their own.

I will look for, but I checked on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com (I prefer .com) I couldn't find the OE.... nor the titanium :(

Try canadain tire or part source for the titanium. Yeah the OE is very hard to find but it is the best. Do a little reading on them I am sure there is lots out there.

I found this :D

Edge is a lesser level but still very very good oil. Anything in a gold bottle from castrol is top tier quality and I would run it. I am also an oil nazi so I have to run the best and do UOA every 5,000km lol!

Have any pic of UOA???????????????? With Castrol and you run 0w20? How is it in the winter?

I will see if I can find them. Works amazing. I run it year round.

Here is my UOA see how the silicon (dirt) drops as my air filter gets dirtier haha!

Edit: I should add I drive my car very hard. I go WOT many times a day. My driving habits are why I change my oil so often.

I've been using M1 0w-20 AFE for the engine and Motul 300 for the transmission/rear diff. Have over 20k miles now (with about 20 track days thrown in), no problems.

I'm planning to switch to Castrol Edge 0w-30 for track days, but that's mainly to compensate for the pressure loss from the Perrin oil cooler. Still planning to use M1 0w-20 AFE for the winter/non-track season.

Re. Motul Gear 300 oil, I haven't really noticed a big difference from the factory fill, but that's not a bad thing. I do have some peace-of-mind knowing it should hold up to track temps better. No need to get LSD-specific oil btw.

Check out this link from Subaru Japan's website. Some Google translate may be needed if you don't read Japanese

and out of all these options it seems this 0W-30 is the bet all-around (e.g. cold weather starts, high temperature engine protection, bumper to bumper stop and go traffic), and lists BRZ specifically listed as a suitable car:

Since the car is NA, the oil is not as big an issue. Any good brand of 0w20 will do. If you are tracking it then you might need a better oil. But for DD the main brands will be fine. I personally use the Subaru stuff 0w20 and get it from Amazon.
