I am contemplating to use Mobil 1 AP 0w20 or 0w30 if I can find cheap

Yes, it is zero consumption with 20 weight oil and hot weather

Actually any good SN 0w20 will work but this engine prone to be noisy during cold startup and perhaps due to DI need to be cleaned often to maintain its performance. I use Molygen motor protect to quieten the engine especially during startup, and CRC gdi ivd cleaner every 15k. So far some...

Interesting, considerd this as new ceratec, hopefully boost mpg a bit. Pethaps good alternative of liquomoly molygen motor protect

I typically change during 60k kms as maintenance due to car is used on urban traffic often and it will start show some wear.

If you tow often why not? Increase from 10 to 12 q will not make warmup period change significantly

TT is the ultimate choice for performance and durability full stop. It cranks longer during hot typically is fuel pump dying symptom and not spark plug issue.

The Yaris engine never need oil thicker than 30 weight, if you live in cold country you may survive with thick 20 weight. However, this engine run hot, so synthetic is recommended, and you can go 7500 miles OCI safely. This engine once burns oil means overhaul must be done, because most of the...

I think many compared old crosstrek with others, but the truth the new crosstrek has improved a lot. Yes the cvt has slow response, but there is a workaround to improve. Handling wise is one of the best for crossover and most comfortable. US top version comes with full preloaded of accessories...

Originally Posted by Gokhan The label of TGMO I have is exactly the same as the one on the PQIA site, which has the same high-moly VOA as on Oil-Club Russia. However, the actual oil in it turned out to be the old 90 - 100 ppm Infineum trinuclear low-moly version, not the GTL high-moly version...

Which container is your TGMO? Quart or can?

Based on russian web site, this TGMO is made by exxon mobil with Molyvan 855 ester additive.it still retain very high VI

Motul Gear 300 is having high VI that makes it less drag like 75w85, however on differential application which one is better? Are they both less durable compared to Mobilube SHC 75w90 that is rated million miles?
