Red-Line is good stuff. Shockproof should only be in the trans/center and will last for a long, long time.
Royal Purple is probably as good if not better.
Neither is really necessary unless you are tracking your car or like to spend too much on oil. Mobile 1 or any other good synthetic is probably fine for the street. Spend money on good filters.
Purolator Pure Ones are some of the best.
No reason to go looking for something more obscure IMHO. And if you mention Amsoil we will kill you.  |
Dean, thanks for the quick response.
as of right now I am using the K&N oil filter mostly due to the wrench off feature. So do you think Purator pure ones would compare better than the K&N because im willing to take your suggestion and try it in the next round
No worries I won't turn this into another common NASIOC thread.
tbh, many will agree that it will be based on personal preference, and my oil of choice is Eneos although I have not run this stuff in my WRX. With that being said I'd just like to know if anyone know where I could get some ENEOS oil locally.
I got this WRX in July and Im still trying to get to know her so im trying to experiment and try different stuff and as I am kind of a paranoid person, I have some concern. my set up is below:
Hydra EMS (custom map tuned by Mike Warfield at GST)
Perrin rotated turbo kit GT3076.63A/R turbo charger
Perrin FMIC
Perrin Twin catch can
custom PCV catch can
TEAL external waste gate and BOV
1000cc injectors
with my set up mentioned, here's my concern; in the last oil change I've lost about a 1qt(based on the dip stick) using redline 5w30 in a 3500 mile interval combined on eaten up oil as well as blow by caught by the three catch cans; though the the first Perrin tank does not get completely filled, I see some residual oil under the hood near the BoV. as mentioned previously mentioned above, Im a bit of a paranoid individual out of my comfort zone so Im curious to experiment my oil options locally and as well as experiment with viscosity.
thanks,
- Michio
