Hi all,
It's been a while since I've posted and for good reason, I found an oil/filter that I liked for my previous cars and stuck with them. Now, after losing 2 cars in the flood in August, I have a question about my new one. My dream finally came true and I purchased a new STI, but now I have some questions. I've heard that some of the Subaru engines have minor issues with burn-off. I'm fine with that, but my question is what should I use to top-off the factory fill? It's currently halfway to the "Low" mark. My current specs are:
2.5L 4cyl turbo
3,000 miles currently
NOT a DD - weekend car and maybe once or twice during the week
I drive fairly conservatively. I'll push it on occasion but mostly just a spirited driver
Planning for 5K OCIs and top-offs as needed
Sorry if this is a duplicate. I know this engine is relatively old as dirt but I could not find anything in the Search function. What do you recommend to top-off factory fill and for use in the future? I'm also a big fan of P1 filters... are those as good or better than OEM? Thank you for any input!
