Haha I didn't know if that was forbidden or not..so I just went for it lol. Im waiting for Toyota to send me mah bonus and I will go premium, all my monies has been tied up killing this damn mod bug lol.

Those filters have a cool rough surface on the outside too, makes them easy as pie to get off.

I recently went to NAPA to pick up my oil changing supplies, little did I know that the napa gold super duper premium filters are WICs brand filters. Alot of people I know swear by the WICs filters so I am trying those out now. I think that I am going to swithch to the Shell rotella oil though for my next change.

OK so I have been doing some research and what I'm hearing is T6 is not a true synthetic like redline and the rest of them. It's a type 3 oil and type 4 is true synthetic. Anyone wanna clear this oil thing up for me before I lose my mind, lol!

 

[FasT STi]

Dude oil is oil lol. My advice again from a subie tech i change oils on subarus for living people don't have issues at all with shell T6 . But again if you don't think is good enough for your motor then get AMSOIL or MOTUL.

and one more thing shell T6 is a dark ass oil lol compared to AMSOIL and some other oils.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Fast STi what do you run in your STi and what filter you use?

 

[FasT STi]

I run Shell T6 5w40 with the oem subaru oil filter. When am done with my new built motor am changing to AMSOIL.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Thanks Fast for the info! It's good to have a subbie tech on board!

I just bought some RedLine. It is certified for use in modern turbine jet engines. If it's good enough for a jet engine it's good enough for my car. The specifications are impressive as well...

This stuff is expensive though.

 

[06STI360]

Wow those are some impressive #'s, flashpoints are crazy high aren't they? I suppose since my STI is a jet I should really be using jet engine oil :rofl:.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Yeah from what I have read redline and amsoil are the 2 best oils in the market right now. I'm either going with redline or amsoil for my STi.

AMSOIL ftw i told you jj =)

 

[IGOTASTi]

Yes you did! That stuff is ranked very high!

 

[06STI360]

Has anyone tried or had expreience with Eneos? I've heard good things about it and it is relatively inexpensive but I haven't spoken with anyone with first hand experience. They sell it at my work and its about ~7 bucks a quart.

 

[IGOTASTi]

I knew heard of it. I will have to google it and see what they say about it and get back to you.

 

[berdugo]

I have very high respect for Amsoil and Motul.

However I find Motul a bit too expensive for me and personally I believe in Amsoil more. I'm using Amsoil SAE 60, I really don't care about the W rating since it's always hot in here, no winter, and most probably no winter here in my lifetime.

 

[IGOTASTi]

I'm going with Amsoil and gonna become a dealer at my garage. They got some good stuff!

 

[Paul.c]

Cool man. Must be nice to get it at wholesale.

I wonder If using a ticker wight like 20w50 would be bad on a built engine. I'm using Rotella t6 and i'm burning a bit of oil. Going to see what are my options for oil weights and brands over here and check back.
