Mobil 1 0W-20 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I currently have a built FA20 engine with a 10.0:1 ratio and run Mobil 1 Full Senthetic 5W-30. Personally, I think she runs pretty good but a little rough on the initial start since the oil is cold (in 40 degree weather). But once she's warmed up and running my oil pressure stays around 20-30 psi. I personally buy mobil 1 since the price is more affordable and is still a reputable oil.

So far no issues but I would like to try the Rotella T-6 at some point too.

Running it right now with no issues.

I saw 0w20 Extended Performance at Walmart. I don't see it anymore.. should've picked one up.

I don't know if Mobile 1 is good or bad but I don't buy things for my car "because it's on sale".

That's something my girl does with her "accessories".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are some things in life that are worth worrying about. Wondering if Mobil 1 is up to the task of lubricating a Subaru boxer motor driven on the street is not the kind of thing you need to loose sleep over. OK, it's not a boutique brand that you have to pay big $ for.

This "Walmart" synthetic is used in a lot of older air cooled 911's (another boxer layout) that go well over 200k miles before needing a rebuild.

Worry about how you are gonna afford retirement. Or putting your kids through college.

Started putting cold pressed olive oil in mine. Amazing performance. I call it Evan's Olive 1. Advanced Mediterranean Economy.

Another "Had no issues w/ Mobile1" and I've been using the stuff since first change at 500mi. At 12,000 mi now, with oil and filter changes every 3Kmi. Lots of autocross and track days.

I won't get into why I so severely dislike Mobil 1, but you could buy Castrol for the same price...

My dealership uses Mobil 1 0w20 when I do my oil changes.

DoomsdayJesus · 04-03-2014, 01:31 PM

The amount of oil speculation with precisely zero fact to back it up is astounding. Mobil 1 is perfectly fine.
