I run Castrol Edge 5W-30 with Mahle filters and no stabilazers since I don\u2019t trust that bullshit. Changes every 10,000km and she\u2019s still running beautifully with 205,000km on the clock
Not only is it fine, it’s widely considered the best option for the WRX. I have had multiple cars and always did my own oil changes. On my first oil change on the WRX I used my (at that time) tried and true Mobil 1 high performance oil filter and the seal blew and made a mess. Luckily I caught it before any damage was done. Since then I’ve exclusively used Subaru OEM oil filters and had zero issues.
I recently installed this canister in my 24v VR6: Better anti-drain back valve in it.
I'm currently running a Mahle OC75 filter, its easier to get from Amazon, and it is only slightly longer. I go back and forth between 15W50 in the winter and 20W50 in the warmer months. The 15W is synthetic and 20W isn't.
I used to get cheap Mahle oil filters for my K100 on Amazon for $15 or so
I use the black OEM filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. The platinum and the Ultra Plat is the same formula now I’m pretty sure. I’d stick to the OEM filter too. It’s what my tuner recommends and I wouldn’t go against what he says unless it’s literally written in the stars
I use Mahle filters in both my VR6 and 2.5 from first oil change. No issues.
Mahle. Best pleat design I’ve seen and according to Volvo, their primary reason they selected Mahle over MANN or Hengst.
Engine oil: I use 10w40 in my rebuilt ABA/2H. No issues. I prefer Mahle filters.
I swapped in a new Subaru OEM oil filter on my 2016 MT. After a short 1.5 miles drive, thin smoke escaped from beneath the hood, and a pool of oil gathered. Oil was literally burbling up from beneath the oil filter and spilling out. I immediately turned off the engine. I will not be using anymore of the junk OEM oil filters.
