I'm going to take your word and order some of this Pentosin MTF2. It does meet all the specs as stated by Subaru.


No guys you dont understand, its better in EVERY gear, not just second.
You want the BRZ to feel as nice as the BMW stick feels. herein lies the answer.

There is no warm up anymore, just like there isnt on other cars in my stable.

It has magically made 2nd gear a complete non issue.

Just one of you try it, and post your results here

I have run the pentosin hard, and can attest to its heat cycling capacity. BMW doesnt fill their M cars with crap, I am dissappointed in Subaru/scion for their choice of oils, clearly spreadsheet driven since they know most enthusiasts will change that out asap.

Today I do the rear diff, using a Motul 300. yum.
