What ENGINE OIL do they use for the 86/BRZ????
Just wondering... what engine oil do they use for 86/BRZ?? I know it's a OW-20 oil but what brand are they using??
Just enquiring because if I end up servicing the car myself, I want to make sure that I am using the same oil. or Is there a better oil I could be using? |

Good question, I've tried to find info on this but can't seem to find anything in the other threads. People only talk about what they think they "should" use, not what comes factory supplied. For eg, does the BRZ use a subaru synthetic or mineral oil? Does the 86 use the toyota synthetic or mineral? What grade and viscosity? Are subaru and toyota factory supplied oils identical?

I really dont know what they use but I used mobil 1 0w-20. Next time I'll go to the dealer and just ask what they use for for the car and run it. I read around here a Blackstone oil test and the factory oil after 4500 miles came out very positive.

Book says 0w-20 or for more highway and high load driving 5w-30 is acceptable.. so I put Castrol edge 5w-30. Feels better somehow? :happy0180:
