When they remove the bowl of RP and still keep it spinning, think of cold starts (where the vast majority of engine wear can be attributed to).

^This At the movement, I own a Land Rover. I started using RP oil a year ago and running smooth till day.

Royal Purple for everything & RP filter.

5w40 pennzoil ultra euro..

if anyone needs some I have lots of this stuff..

illmatic · 04-13-2012, 02:17 PM

RLI 0w20.

OrbitalEllipses · 04-13-2012, 02:45 PM

Considering Redline, Motul, or AMSoil. Their all a bit pricey for me though. I do want to see some wear comparisons with a thick(er) 0w-30 weight oil. I'm interested in staying at 0w for the startup wear characteristics, but interested in changing the at temperature viscosity for actual wear protection. That said, I won't stray from 0w-20 until the warranty expires.

Anyone have any experience with Amsoil? I know it's more expensive and I just want to see if anyone here uses them and if they have any thoughts.

Draco-REX · 04-13-2012, 04:57 PM

Amsoil is a PITA to get and they make people jump through hoops. A friend of mine is a distributor for Amsoil. But they won't even deliver their own product. He has to go to their warehouse and pick it up. So he's never sold a single quart of Amsoil. Screw that.

Mobil 1 is out because Subaru engines just don't like the stuff. Not going to even risk it since there are other choices.

Penzoil Platinum has a great reputation on BobIsTheOilGuy.com. So for the BRZ, it'll likely get that with a Purolator PureONE filter (99.9% filtration).

Redline has some of the highest HTHS ratings for US oil. So the STI gets that. For now I use the PureONE filters on the STI, but I'm considering switching to Canton oil filters for their high flow and 8 micron filtration.
