Oil filter LIQUI MOLY or MOTUL
Reviews
$65-75 for 5 quarts of liqui moly and a filter. I do oil changes myself cause they are too easy not to and I don\u2019t trust anyone.
Pros: easy to do
Cons: don't trust anyone
i DIY or pay a subaru specialty shop for a change, we both use motul, genuine filter, crush ring, just they do oil samples for me cause i dont feel like that hassle
Pros: genuine filter, oil samples
I personally use Motul 5w30 with oem oil filter.
Motul Oil change kit on subimods, that’s it
Pros: Motul Oil change kit
Motul and oem filter.
Pros: Motul, OEM filter
Vehicle:
Subaru
I like using motul with OEM filters but I doubt it's making much of a difference.
Pros: no adverse issues
Liquimoly is more expensive, sure, but that’s what I buy. Comes in a nice little kit with a filter and I know I don’t have anything to worry about.
Pros: comes in kit
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I change my oil filter every oil change n my advanced synthetic oil liqui moly last 9K
Pros: liqui moly lasts
Mileage: 9000 km
I used Liquimoly 5w-30 when I was NA, and still use liquimoly 5w-50 since boost. A little pricey ($120) for 10qts but worth it. Oil filter, just a ford performance filter. Pretty much any auto store will have them or a comparable brand in stock. When I was NA I’d do oil changes every 3k miles or sooner depending on how hard I drove it. Now with boost the max I go is 2k miles. Normally 1k-1.5k since I drive it hard and run e85.
Pros: worth the price
Cons: pricey
Changed my '06 BPY oil today, noticed large copper flakes in the oil filter and at the bottom of the pan when draining oil.
Pros: noticed copper flakes
Cons: copper flakes in oil
