Long time reader and just thought I would post this question, I have a 2016 wrx and have been running Kendall GT euro then euro+ when it came out. Wrx DFI tends to fuel dilute the oil somewhat and have always gone with a thicker 5w-30 to at least keep it in the ballpark for warranty reasons. Went with Kendall since Mobil1 was harder to find and LOTS more expensive. When I went to purchase Kendall this time it has almost doubled in price and is about on par with Mobil1 ESP in terms of cost so looking at options. I know Kendall Euro+ and Mobil1 ESP are both low saps oil, maybe that is important with my DFI but hard to say, I did run Kendall GT Euro for several changes which is a full saps oil and when they came out with euro+ switched to that.
Anyway I have a 5qt jug of Mobil1 European 0w40 but also can purchase Pennzoil Plat Euro-l 5w30 which I believe is a low saps oil vs the mobil1. I know the mobil1 tends to be on the thinner side of 40w so that doesn't concern me much and I am out of warranty so there's that but just curious to see if anyone thinks that the PP euro-l would be a better oil. I am doing 5k OCI and have pulled uoa's for all of them except my last one, but will pick that up again just to keep an eye on it.
My other option is Castrol European 5w30 but I think the PP euro-l would be better option so just curious on opinions between the mobil1 euro 0w40 vs the PP euro-l 5w30.
Thanks
