Engine oil Mobil or RAVENOL
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.
If it says 5W-30 then the Hella synthetic should be fine. Except you can do all the other checks yourself. If they will use your parts that is ideal, get a Mazda filter and something like Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Castrol or Mobil1 synthetic if you can get that.
If you can get your hand on it try some Ravenol with UVSO, it's like bottled Magic. Engines run so smoothly with it, father in law thought the engine was off with it.
I personally use Mobil1 exclusively with 5-30 regularly and sometimes go a bit heavier in the summer or if I'm planning on operating in 'Severe Service' conditions
Had my oil tested and it was recommended for 3500. I went with 3k as I do a lot of miles and use mobil 1 so my cost is relatively low.
Mobil1 every 6k like my owner’s manual says. Mine is stock. Blackstone says my oil would be able to go longer if I wanted.
2016 stock WRX here. 6k OCI's using Subaru filters and Mobil 1 5w-30 EP oil backed up by oil analysis. 90k miles presently.
After some digging through some bimmer forums i saw people say viscosity is less of a factor than ensuring it's LL compatible. So the closest visosity i found in store was 5w-30 and i chose mobil 1 euro spec that was Ll-01 compatible.
I use mobile 1, 0-20w in my 5.3 GMC. 3k miles every change w filter. In the colder months it looks brand new coming out. Little bit darker maybe. My most recent change with the past month being 85+ I noticed it finally being very dark and red.
Ravwnol e cea mai mare mizerie.
