    Renewable Lube 5W40 HD - 2931 miles - Subaru STI

    Dyson Analysis. Thanks Terry! With ~2% fuel dilution, this is amazing (IMHO). I can't imagine not running this stuff. Tim

    Mobil 1 0W30 RACING, 3800 miles, Subaru STI

    I know people don't want outside links for data. However, I don't intend to ever get rid of my domain (unless I am dead). So, if the link doesn't work then check back in an hour or two. http://www.bescaredracing.com/sti/oil/analysis/12400.JPG This is my third UOA using Mobil 1 RACING 0W30...

    Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30, 3020 miles, Subaru STI

    This is my second fill and my second UOA for Mobil 1 Racing (M1R, 0W-30). The first one had a 2500 OCI. This one I carried out to a 3000 OCI. Results are awesome. I wasn't expecting things to look this good considering that I have beat on the car pretty good the past 3000 miles. I know I am...

    Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30, 2500 miles, Subaru STI

    2005 Subaru WRX STI. 5650 miles on car. 2500 miles on this oil fill. I'm hard on this car. I drive 2 miles to work. 2 miles home from work. 1 mile to the gym and 1 mile home from the gym. Lots of short runs. My oil temp only gets to 170 by the time I get to work. I upgraded to a Cobb Stage II...

    Dino Oil recommendation for Toyota 4Runner

    Hey Guys, I have a bud with a brand new 2005 4Runner. He's getting ready for his first oil change (500 miles to ensure all the initial wear metals get purged). He asked me about synthetic and I advised him to stay away from synthetic until at least 3K miles. Curious as to what you guys would...

    Why isn't Mobil 1 R 0W-30 API rated?

    I'm considering running this oil in place of Mobil 1 0W-40 in my Subaru STi. Service manual calls for a 0W oil this time of year ... but really a 0W-30. I'm not liking everything I am hearing about the M1 0W-30. So, naturally, I'm looking at the M1R 0W-30 (with some prodding by Motorbike). My...

    New Mobil 5W-30 DC, short OCI

    Car: Subaru WRX STi Total Miles: 2664 Mods: Stock It got really cold last week and I REALLY didn't like how the Mobil DC 5W-30 behaved. Lots more chatter and engine noise (including roughness) as compared to my old Subaru wagon (where I ran Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic). So, I drained and refilled...

    '94 Buick with Coolant Contamination

    My Wife's grandfather (85yrs old) drives a '94 Buick LeSabre with the 3.8L V-6. He's been losing coolant. He had a mechanic look at it and the mechanic couldn't find a problem. I looked it over and could find no external coolant leak. Naturally, my first course of business was to tell him to...

    Mobil Drive Clean 5W-30 Shearing out of grade

    Curious if anyone else might be experiencing the same thing ... or else to warn others about the phenomena. New 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi (2.5L turbocharged flat 4 boxer, rated at 300/300). No modifications. 1) I changed the oil at 394 from the factory fill to Mobil Drive Clean 5W-30. I...

    Thoughts on my homebrew?

    50% Redline 10W-30 50% Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40 Car/Motor: 1990 IROC-Z, highly modified. ~380hp to the rear wheels. Not a daily driver - but IS driven on the street. Mostly 1/4 mile stuff in terms of racing. But, this car IS driven hard ... especially since it is more of a toy than transportation...
