I run Brotella T6 5-40. 22.50 a gallon from amazon. Fantastic Stuff.
If you look at the forums there’s tons of information on this. The rotella T6 5w40 is considered to be the best oil for the EJ hands down.
I run 15W-40 Shell [B]Rotella in my Volvo because it's an old turbo car and the enthusiast community has had success with it.
I run amsoil Signature 0w20.
These days I do use T6 because I know the winters in south Texas aren't cold enough to worry about running anything lighter.
People like rotella because it’s a high zinc oil and subarus just like high zinc.
I run the Rottela 15w40 in my stock 05 Subaru Legacy GT (EJ255) and my mk4 supra turbo. Haven't had issues with the cats on the Subie, I do plan to remove them tho
Rotella 15W-40. I put that shit in everything. My Yukon, my Fit, and all 3 motorcycles. It’s legit.
We used to commonly use Rotella in our heavily modified Mazdaspeed 3/6's to combat the same issue. It worked great and the only problem we ever had was with what we called the "black death".
I ended up returning the Castrol Edge 5W-40 and got AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Improved ESP Synthetic Motor Oil instead, which is VW Approved and 504 spec. Its quite pricey though, $180 CAD for 12 x 946ml.
