Engine oil VALVOLINE or OEM Subaru
2017 Yukon Denali. Threw lifters at 134. Replaced all. Bad chirp until 142k when switched to Valvoline rp from m1hm. Still a slight chirp but that was gone after adding can of mos2.
Yo uso Valvoline 15w40 semisintético y no he tenido problemas, es una de las marcas que recomienda el manual de mi carro.
We've been running the valvoline restore and protect oil lately in our fleet of cars and have nothing but positive things to say. Slowed down some oil burning on our high mileage scion TC and no complaints from our other vehicles, including my turbocharged 200k mile 09 focus.
I was a diehard Mobil 1 Extended Protection guy, but fell into the hype about Valvoline Restore & Protect. Tried it on my 2015 Mazda6 2.5 with 95k miles and have to say I'm impressed. I bought it used, it was using about a quart every 3k maybe, and had some blowby. Otherwise ran good, had several 40+ mpg tanks.
Switched to R&P, after 1k the blowby went away and after 3k it looks like it stopped burning oil.
They sell Subaru branded Idemitsu at the parts counter
Mobil 1 "eh" oil. It's okay, not bad like royal purple but better off on Vavoline or Pennzoil. Also Motul but that's expensive shit. Amsoil is okay, it's one step above OEM.
My 2007 camry is on 22k km (engine 2AZ-AE). No oil burning so far. Always been using penrite 5w-30 while servicing between 5000 to 8000. Only one time had burning smell while running engine on Valvoline 10W-30. Changed the oil at 3k, after that smooth as it was.
Valvoline full syn high mileage and black OEM filter - 113k miles and it doesn’t eat any between changes.
Eh if it’s VW approved then it’s fine. I just use Castrol Euro or Valvoline Euro and haven’t had any issues.
Having had multiple Subarus that leak oil like crazy (they all do when they get old) the leaks are most likely too much for the stop leak additive to fix anyway.
