For those that want to run Amsoil, the only way that the Amsoil warranty stands is if you use their filter. I ran 0W-20 Signature Series for about 7,500 miles. I have dealt with lots of different oils and have a good sense of when they become junk. The oil that came out still had good color and lubricity. I had zero issues during the winter or warmer summer months. I run Amsoil in everything I own. My motorcycle loves it, my fourwheelers love it, and my parents snowmobiles have always run awesome on it.

Hi guys,

I just gave the HKS super NA racing oil a try and it's awesome. My butt feedback was so much more positive than what I had before, which was the dealership's Shell helix synthetic oil.

Have you tried motul before? Wonder how they compare. And where you get the HKS super racing oil? I googled a bit they have 0w-25 for BRZ/86 which sounds really good. Tempted to try lol

Actually I was contemplating between Motul and HKS. They had a deal on the HKS so I went for it. I guess I will give Motul a shot at my next oil change .

I'm living in a tropical climate so i'm using 10w-40 so I can't really comment on the 0w-20.
