Q: Mobil 1 Racing 0W-50 has a TBN of 8, is that good for an oci of 3,000 miles or one year? TIA.

Correct on the factory fill. I was told that if you do a complete flush thoroughly then I think you can pretty much use whatever type of coolant you wish after.

If you have to stay with 5W-30 you can use any of the following: Subaru/Idemitsu, Mobil 1 FS, Castrol Edge Euro or Pennzoil PUP. IMO, it is just as important to select an oil that you can easily find and are readily available, at least locally. I use Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 but my car is already out of...

I have been using M1 FS 0W-40 for the past 20+ years and before that was Agip SINT 2000 10W-40. I think M1 FS 5W-50 will be a great choice as well. Ferrari was with Agip for the longest time until the Schumacher era (1996) and both 10W-50 and 10W-40 are from Agip. Anyway, I don't know about the...

Depending on budget, if she can, wait for the 2025 WRX tS. Manual AWD sports sedan are unicorns in today's car market. Tune out the online noises, including this forum. Subaru are just as reliable and fun as anything coming out from Germany. One thing is for certain, cost of ownership is much...

I think I read it somewhere on the forum here, is there any truth to the base oil of the current SP formulation is now a Group III oil? Also, what Mobil formulation that is currently on the market uses GTL base oil, the ESP family? Thanks.

Or having a puncture patched, which is free of charge and even more labor intensive.

Key word there is "Dealer". Any major tire store can sell you programmable TPMS sensors and clone them from your original for much, much less.
