Engine oil Mobil or LIQUI MOLY
Mobil 1 ESPx2 is the right choice here. The regular 0W-20 does not carry the VW 508 00 approval, whereas the ESP one does. It’s a great oil to use!
Just get Mobil 1 0w-40 better then all of these
5w40 liquidmoly
Mobil 1 fully synthetic, multi-grade oils only.
Mobil 1 15w-50
M1 fs 0w40 has been working well for me. But this oil does lose some of its viscosity after a couple track days.
I buy mobile1 high mileage 20k mile oil and change it every year (less than 5k miles per year on my G coupe)
Mobil1 0W-30 full synthetic. Just did my first 1000-mile oil change a couple hundred miles ago. Been using Mobil1 0W-40 on my 2011 WRX for 220k miles, tracked, autocrossed, and daily driver duty after 160k miles when I had a head gasket failure and I rebuilt the engine.
I had been using LM in our Euro vehicles for years until prices started to climb. I switched to the appropriate Mobil 1 oil earlier this year. There is not enough difference in test results to make me stay with LM once the price difference became as big as it was during my last TDI oil change.
I learned mobil 1 is the absolute worst oil to use in Subaru engines, especially ej257. Simply because it is good oil but because of the poor oil cooling the detergents burn in the engines causing premature wear.
