    2013 Ford Focus ST: 2.0L DI Turbo engine.

    Any opinions on oil for this vehicle? I don't have my owners manual yet (dealer forgot to include them), so I can only go by what people are saying on focus st forums, but most of them just argue back and forth. I'm at 900 miles on my factory fill. I was going to change my oil tomorrow, but I...

    Pennzoil Ultra 5w-30, 3200 miles, 2012 Subaru WRX

    Only mod is stage 1 tune. I'm not running an aem dryflow air filter in my stock airbox. I'm still trying to understand UOAs...wouldn't the silver count be concerning? http://i.imgur.com/75zcpUS.png

    2012 WRX- Redline 5w-30 vs Mobil 0w-40

    I've been using resource conserving 5w-30 oils to stay within warranty requirements, but now that I'm nodded it doesn't really matter. Which of these two would you go with for a turbo vehicle driven pretty hard (no track though) in constant 100+ degree days in california?

    Oil for 2012 WRX?

    Currently using Pennzoil ultra and am going to get a UOA soon, but would like some opinions. Currently have 12k miles and have done 3 oil changes, all with 5w-30 Pennzoil ultra and OEM Subaru filter. Reason I'm making this thread is because apparently our cars are very sensitive to thin...

    So group III oils aren't really synthetic?

    I honestly never knew about group 3, 4, etc oils until I saw a single post mention it earlier today, so I looked into it a little bit. I recently filled my car with Pennzoil Ultra 5w-30 (2012 Subaru WRX), but now I'm reading that this oil is a group 3, thus not really good? So what in the world...

    Oil for brand new 2012 Subaru WRX

    What is recommended? I heard Mobil 1 5w-30 isn't good for these cars, and I don't want to use a 5w-40 for warranty purposes. Any suggestions?

    Interested in doing oil analysis with RP 5w-30

    Hey guys, I know this section is for used oil analysis reports, and I don't have one yet, but I just wanted to know how would I go about getting one done? I did an oil change yesterday in my 2004 SRT-4 (2.4l turbo) and used Royal Purple 5w-30. After 3k miles I wanted to get an oil analysis...

    Thoughts on Royal Purple motor oil for turbo cars?

    The past two oil changes I've used Royal Purple 5w-30 for my 2004 SRT-4, but then I read somewhere that RP is not good for f/i cars. Is this true? If so, which oil would work best with my car? Amsoil?

    Proper way to check oil level?

    I really never understood this. What is the proper way to check the oil level with the dipstick? Should the car be cold? Warm? Do you push the dipstick all the way down or just slide it in there until it stops by itself (like an inch before it's all the way down)? How do you get an accurate...
