I have two choices here for my new '05 Subaru Outback H6 engine....help?!
Going to 0W30 is a given, as we are about to enter the deep cold here (-30C) in a few months, so that is a no-brainer.
My dilemma is the choice between these two fine oils. I use the XD3 0W40 in my diesel Jetta with great success.
The Subaru calls for a GL3 energy conserving oil; it appears that the Mobil 1 meets this requirement, yet the Esso does not (according to the oil donut).
Should I be concerned about the difference? Which oil will be there for me?
The price is almost $2.50-$3.00 cheaper per L going to the XD3, BTW...
