Oil Change - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Vlady · 12-13-2013, 12:26 AM

Hey guys just got done with my first oil change. I decided to buy Mobile 1 Full synthetic (0w-20 of course) and the labeling has "Advanced Fuel Economy" on the label. This was the only 0w-20 that was available at the store from Mobile 1. Just kind of curious if I should searched for something different or will this perform well. Thanks in advance for your input!

0w-20 as a whole is designed for better fuel economy, they are just making it sound special

Awesome guys thanks. I have been driving it around and maybe its just me but the car "feels" like its running smoother. Maybe its just the tune at work lol

Just did my first oil change and used the same Mobil 1 :-)

I've always used Mobil 1 on my other cars and never had a problem. So we should be good!

Other than your choice of M1 all the 0-20 are considered energy conserving. Over the years in the subaru boxers we've found M1 to not be a good choice in terms of consumption we've seen extreme consumption by both the OEM Subaru Synthetic and the Mobil 1 variants compared to Amsoil and Motul.

But how many of those boxers were BRZ's/FRS-s?

M1, and all other ILSAC GF5 oils, are Resource Conserving (Energy Conserving is the old ILSAC GF-4 spec). Not much consumption in the twins on either oil looking at uoa's posted here:

True true, although, we don't like to test out stuff on our clients cars that we've seen issues with in the past.

Oh and we buy Motul in 55gal drums so it's cheaper for our clients than M1 is
