Engine oil Mobil or OEM Subaru
Now i can notice a smoother iddle and the car seems to pull more even in the RPM. So far so good i'll trust MObil 1 till my next oil change but always be aware of what those dealership are doing seems like a big ripp off to me !!!
Easiest to find is Mobil 1 0W-40, Porsche's recommended fill.
I use mobil 1 0w40 and it makes a big difference
0w - 40 Mobile 1 was all I used for over 3 years, and the R was flawless until I sold her.
I use Mobil 1 0w-40 in my car (1.8T) because it is readily available, VW approved, has good performance and a decent price.
Mobile1 Full Syn 15w50 for my VR. I would like to think that if you changed your oil every 3000 miles under normal driving conditions than regular oil would be fine. Since I have some modifications and like to drive it like I stole it--sometimes-- than a better oil is good insurance.
On that note, I currently have tried VW Oil from the dealer, Mobil 1, and Kendall Fully Synthetic and have determined that Mobil 1 5W-30 is the best mass-market oil out there to use. I run it 10,000 miles and the motor is as smooth as ever.
I always get Mobil 1 0w40 ... it's 502.00 and VW approved !
I rebuilt a 1.6TD, my first rebuild about 16 years ago, and it had Mobil 1 15w50 since day one. I sold the car with 550,000 miles on the engine and it was still purring.
Run Mobil 1 and you need nothing else. I change the oil every 10K, at 150K still going as strong as ever.
