He did not have an oil cooler... I have a 2013 BRZ and have not had any problems with it yet. Hopefully she stay's healthy for a long time. Just put exactly 5.8 quarts of mobile 1 in it yesterday. Oil level is on the dot. I really wanted to tune my car but I think I'm going to stay far away from them now... not worth it... |

Its not the first Subaru engine to blow that was using Mobil 1... But its probably not the only factor.

What tune did he have? And how long has he had it? Or where did he get it tuned at?
The stock tune isn't that great either, I forgot what the issue was. I think it was the injector seals. Seal breaks, cylinder runs lean, boom. |

Forget oil weight, how often was he changing it (not this most recent change, the previous changes)? Was it full (not overfull)? Is he running too rich and washing down the oil with fuel?
Make sure he sends the oil out for proper analysis.

If you insist on Mobil 1, run 0w30 instead and change it frequently (3000 miles) especially if you abuse it. |
