That is an option in the manual IIRC. I assumed they put it in since my car is lowered, wheels, exhaust so thinking I probably drive it harder than I actually do.

Maybe the whole oil starvation issue is causing them to go safer and put in 5w-30. |

On gen 1 cars it was pretty conclusively proven that 0w-20 with an oil cooler was the most ideal for a track car seeing hot temps, I run track days on 0w-20

Thinking about swapping in that 9spd manual trans conversion I saw on an eclipse. My tab at Harry’s runs deep.

FWIW my '17 got up to 275F indicated (reportedly this is ~255F sump temp) every single session for 5 years, around 50 or so track days, +80k street miles. The car never needed an oil cooler, but I did run high(ish) 3.7cP HTHS 5w30 Redline oil during track season. Last edited by ZDan; 02-08-2024 at 09:02 PM. |

say they run 0w-20 after countless tests and they all seem to agree that an oil cooler is beneficial if running the car hot for long periods of time.. such as on the track. Oil cooling is only a failure point if its done poorly, would you say that the oem oil/water cooler on the 2nd gens is a failure point? why would subaru design the engine with a better *barely better* and more complex oil cooling system than before if its not beneficial? All these cars dying from oiling issues that ive seen come from a clogged pickup which = less or no oil delivery. No oil pressure has has a similar but less drastic effect, loss of volume of oil through oil delivery leads to lol. My low oil pressure incidents all happened on motul 300v 0w20 which went away after the oil cooler when I was around 300ish whp, new built engine likes motul xcess gen 2 5w40 and ive had the oil cooler on the whole time so I cant say what it would be at in terms of oil pressures. Actually i think im going to give it a try and gather some data for myself but all I can conclusively say with an engineering background is that viscosity is the most important factor for a lubricant and viscosity is affected by temperature, too hot = too thin, too thin means an unhappy engine
