Stimmel1647545512 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 so what oil do you use and what filter and why? discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Depends on car. DD = whatever Advance has for their 17.99 oil+filter deal. Because I don't believe ANY oil breaks down before the 3000 interval I change mine at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Mobil 1 synthetic, different grades depending on summer/winter. Whatever filter I can find that fits. Fram doesn't do my car so no shitness there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 NAPA Gold on pretty much everything. Oil is usually Castrol GTX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Subaru filter, and I am testing Shell Rotella T6 in the wife's WRX to see if I am going to use it. Subaru filter because they have pretty specific bypass valve specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Amsoil oil and filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Legacy (DD): Synth or Synth-blend, whichever deal I can get the filter I want with. The filter is a Purolator PureONE PL14610. Larger filter surface area lowers the bypass pressure requirement. This car had a hard life before I got it, so I'm keeping it in good oil, but I'm running the changes out to 4500. WRX: High mileage 5W-30 in the winter when I'm not racing. Conventional or High Mileage 10W-40 in the summer when I'm racing. I don't care about the expensive stuff because I change the oil after every other race. Filter is also a PL14610. STI: This one gets babied. Castrol Edge 5W-30 and a PL14610. Though I'm considering switching to Canton cartridge filters because they don't have a bypass valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 06 Civic (DD duty) - Mobil 1 synthetic and pureone filter. Unless I can get the Mobil1 Filter in a package deal 87 RX-7 w/LS1 - See above. 04.5 Cummins - Valvoline Premium Blue (Dino oil) and fleetguard oil filter. I always get to 6 months and might not make the 5k mile interval. Plus 3 gallons of synthetic oil can get salty. These are both 'OEM' oil and filter anyway.

It used to be great oil, but the forum members who have done UOAs on it the last few years have seen increased iron in the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
