I only plan on running the Subaru 0w20. Its not expensive and works just fine. I see no reason to run something else unless its some custom built block that requires god knows what to maintain...

I've said it dozens of times but it's an HTHS and viscosity issue in the EJ engines, not a brand issue.

There are very few oils that will outperform M1 0W-40 in an EJ turbo and there is little difference in how different RC oils of most brands performs in an EJ turbo.

And I don't believe anyone has posted any data to show that Mobil1 0W-20 does not perform well in an FA engine.
