We do sell Motul, but my intent was not to sell with this thread. I am seriously excited for an oil change. LOL.
That being said PM me and ill hook you guys up with pricing for this, the 8100, and OEM filters. Adam Last edited by No Limit Motorsport; 09-19-2012 at 07:50 PM. |

I got mine from No Limit, best price i found on the Motul can't wait to do mine tomorrow.
Not doing the K&N filter? Any reason why or why not? Last edited by JoeBoxer; 09-19-2012 at 07:52 PM. |

Just curious why is motul considered such a good oil? Seems like it is just from viewing this post. How does it fare vs AMSOIL and all the other leading brands

Is the 300v overkill for street use? I thought it would be much more expensive but for $10 more i may get it next time around.

I've been doing some research on oil after doing my first oil change a couple of days ago. First of all, 0-20w is like water! It's so thin... Also, after only having 1500 miles on my first oil change I was shocked at how dark the oil was. It looked like oil after 7k miles on an older engine (are you seeing the same?). It wasn't the nice golden brown I was use to.
I then checked around and it seems the FA20 doesn't use some special break-in oil and it's just regular subaru synthetic. That makes me even more confused... Lots of Subie folks like the Rotella brand also (cheap at Walmart) So what that said, I'm highly considering going with at least 5-20w or 5-30w for some added protection even at the expense of some mpg and some hp. Thoughts anyone? |

It won't add any protection. It won't really hurt anything either except maybe mileage a tiny bit.
