Has anyone had factory toyota, german castrol, motul, and enoes analyzed? I would like to see how they stack up against each other.

It seems in the subaru/bmw world german castrol is rated super high.

A couple of random $25-$30 uoa's are not really a good indicator of how well oils stack up against each other. IMO, GC is probably overkill for most BRZ/FR-S applications. It has an HTHS similar to some 40 weights (which is one way it meets Euro specs) and has a kinematic viscosity close to a 40 weight.

My local Toyota dealership gave me 12 bottles of Toyota 0W-20 with 2 oil filters /w crusher washer for $85. I think for the summer I might go with Castrol German but i'll have to research if it's too heavy of an oil.

Eneos Sustina 0w20...you wont be let down.

I bought some Eneos 5w20. I'm going to change when its hit 1000 mile. We shall see how that going to run.

subaru and toyota engineers decided that our engine is capable to use 0w-20. They knew this was a sports car and have anticipated accordingly. I use 0w-20 Mobil 1.

I switched to Amsoil 5w-40 for a track weekend in August and saw a substantial jump in oil temps for daily driving. Sustained highway speed at 70 mph went from ~208 up to ~221.

Oil capacity with the oil filter is 5.8 quarts. You'll need 2 extra quarts with the gallon jug.

Thick oil usually runs hotter.

I would keep the factory fill in for at least 3,000 miles. The extra molybdenum probably helps with break in.
