I know the manual says 0w-20 and I'm fine with that. What about a brand?
Mileage is 51,000 miles.
Thanks.

Castrol Edge is the superior brand. 0w20 synthetic all day for my '15 FR-S. If you search forums everyone has an opinion, same as here, and some people swear by 5w30 for boosted/track cars and most will tell you that 0w20/30 is preferred for daily driving. The main argument that I've seen (as far as your comment on engine noise) is that it's because of the thinness of 0w20 and risks heavier wear. Which is bullsh*t considering the quality/chemistry of synthetic 0w20 is not going to allow for extra wear and wouldn't be recommended if there were anything to back that.
