Based on the feedback from people that I have asked and also the great responses from this site, it seems that it would be worth my while to go out and search for GC or Rotella 5W-40 that are on sale, even with my shorter OCI's. Thank you everyone for helping me understand the subject and...

Originally Posted By: hate2work Personally I would only use a good synthetic in a car with a turbo. Plus you mentioned you do short trips. Wait until AZ or Pep Boys has their Castrol sale ( it happens several times a year ). It gets you 5 quarts of oil and a filter for about $28 or so. Pick up...

Originally Posted By: WishIhadatruck How hard do you drive it? If you don't drive it hard and you are sticking with such short intervals then any oil that meets the mfg. spec. should be fine since you live in a mild climate. I'd probably stick with a name brand oil like Pennzoil, Castrol, etc...

First off, I drive a WRX and I want to stay within warranty compliance and so I am sticking with the OCI of about 3750 per the manual(until 60k miles). My earlier post had some very good answers, but a lot of the recommendations were synthetics. I know some synthetic blends will be better for my...

Thanks for the quick replies all. Based on the answers, I will try to go find some 10W-30 Delo 400 / Rotella 10w-30 until about 10k, then switch to Rotella T6 5w-40.

Originally Posted By: webfors I really wish delo 10w30 was easily available, same goes for Rotella 10w30. Either of those oils would be a good choice for the 3750 mile oci. For synthetic there are a lot of options. Amsoil, GC, RTS, PU, etc. For your driving and application you could stick with...

Originally Posted By: Hemi426 If 5w-30 is the recommended grade then stick with it. Put a few miles on it then switch to a synthetic 5w-30. Stay away from those 40 and 50 weights like some people love to recommend on a newer car. Do you have any input on brand/kind for my turbo-4?

Originally Posted By: tenderloin Chevron Delo 400 LE 10W-30 Running it in my sons '07 Subie (non turbo). Quiets down the boxer with no decrease in mileage or performance. The best oil we have tried in this vehicle (most name brand synthetics including Ultra)...

Is it still beneficial and/or cost effective if I were to use full synthetic, but still change my oil every 3750 or so? Does my short OCI impact the effectiveness or anything? Can you tell I am a newbie regarding oil usage? :)

Originally Posted By: bluesubie A lot of Subaru turbo owner's wait until 10k-ish to switch to synthetic since these cars take a while to break in and oil change intervals (oci's) are kept short. I would recommend a good conventional 10W-30 like Havoline, Chevron, Pennzoil, or Rotella...

Oops, you guys are right. The 5w30 is the recommended grade. I must have overlooked that! Reading the Subaru boards, it seems like Subaru's burn Mobile 1 for some reason, so that is out of the question. For whatever reason, there have been more than a few WRX's drinking Mobile 1 like water and...

1. What kind of vehicle you have I have a brand new 2010 Subaru WRX w/only 2000 miles on the odometer. The only mods that it has is an SPT cat-back exhaust. Everything else, turbo, engine, etc. is stock and will stay this way for awhile. 2. What your owner's manual says -- not just viscosity...
