Eagerly waiting for the 25 year old lawsuit details to pop up again :)

PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM!! YOUR ENGINE WILL EXPLODE!! Please leave them on the curbside and I will be more than happy to recycle them for you :)

Nice!!! We have the same model and hopefully with the larger IMSB :) Are you a member of Planet 9?

I think Redlines are more "exotic" with Group IV / PAO base oil. I am sure Lake Speed Jr's "invention" of Driven oils are also Group IV based....I don't use any of those...good 'ol Walmart's M1 or Castrol is fine in my books :)

To me, it is mixing sodas or different brands on water....at the end of the day, the mix quenches my thirst :)

YMMV and your choice, of course. If I were you, I would just use 2 qt of QS each time "just because" - no science. I have mixed more than a few times to get rid of leftovers. The last one was PP 0W 20 (4.5 qt) + Castrol 10W 30 (0.5) + M1 0W 40 (0.5) and but proportionally almost meaningless...

This is exactly what I have been doing with our '16 OB. Any GL5 75W90 will work. One "short cut" I have been using for the front is using the check plug to fill (using a pump) - I have never removed the fill plug so far...

This....is exactly what I do - especially for our Subie OB 0W20 > 5W30. Plus, since I do not live in Alaska or North Pole, I don't even bother with xW label as I just buy whatever is on sale / cheaper.

I want your 993 but can't afford it :) If my son decides not to attend a college (actually in your neck of the woods), I may have a chance. For now, I don't plan to track - if I do, may be go up to 50 (or if oil burning - no oil burning whatsoever so far, knock, knock) - the latest is Castrol...

Mannol, in certain countries, is considered as a "PREMIUM, European" brand :), and not cheap. The "cheapest" I have ever used was Rotella when PepBoys had that $60 or so rebate (per 2 jugs) which resulted in basically "free" oil :) Otherwise, Kirkland, SuperTech when these rebates are not...

2016 Subaru Outback (w/ Fumoto) @ 112K Out: "Minor" Franken Brew of PP 0w 20 (4.2 qt), Castrol 10W 30 (0.4), M1 0W 40 (0.4) + WIX filter In: QS 5W 30 + HENGST filter 2014 Acura MDX (w/ Fumoto) @ 144K Out: PP HM 0W 20 + M1 filter In: PP 5W 20 (5) + Castrol 10W30 (0.7 qt of leftover) + Fram...

Thanks..SP formulation seems to have higher MG.

Sorry for the late reply. I have no idea as I bought the car about 14 months ago and changed the oil only after a few months (plus they overfilled) - the oil actually looked really good / clean (visually) when I drained.

Updated with SP numbers..

I am an idiot...I forgot to look at this sheet which is have looked in the past. Thanks for the heads up

Dang...that's gonna increase the price even more :) Those taco prices in CDMX have been increasing rather significantly last few years....us Gringos get the benefit of USD being stronger and notice less.

Will see if I can get more metal wear by driving harder :)

Thanks for all your inout....maybe I can try to fund more recent one. Just remembered putting in a bottle of techron a few hundred miles before the oil change...not sure that causee magnesium to skyrocket

Mostly interested in the metal wear (due to the infamous IMS and/or bore scoring). Added some LiquiMoly MoS2 hence the "higher" Moly content than usual / VoA...not sure why magenium is through the roof though (MoS2???)

Your engine will explode!!! Joking aside I would personally use them for sure. While I have not mixed M1 0W 40 and Castrol 5W 40 during my oil change for my old Porsche 987 but refill, when needed, with either one or whatever is open. For my wife's Acura MDX, I "mixed" PP 0w 20 with Castrol...
