Same deal as what wheelhaus said. I used to run Mobil1 in my wrx swapped GC a ways back. People said the EJ didn't like that oil.

However from what I remember this problem originally stemmed from the guys with the version 3-6 STI engines in their swapped GC's. for whatever reason there was some correlation to spun rods and Mobil 1 oil in the JDM STI motor. However those motors were never terribly reliable in the first place haha

Shouldn't matter which one you go for now

I'm currently running 5w-20 Mobil 1 synthetic in my BRZ right now but I'm going to go back to 0w-20, found a good deal for some royal purple. Love that purp
