Shell Engine oil

  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 4.0

I use rotella 5-40 in mine. It's really cheap for a full synthetic and I saw less oil consumption after switching. It's intended for diesel engines but I haven't seen any negative effects after using it for 60k miles. I usually change it around 4k miles.

Pros: less oil consumption
Cons: diesel engine intended
Mileage: 96560 km

MOTUL Engine oil

I've had good results from Blackstone with running Motul X-Clean EFE 5w30. It has a high HTHS value so it keeps it's viscosity over time, from what I understand.

Pros: high HTHS value
Vehicle: Subaru

Shell Engine oil

If you look at the forums there’s tons of information on this. The rotella T6 5w40 is considered to be the best oil for the EJ hands down.

Pros: best oil for EJ

Uniroyal Tires

I got the cheapest snow tires possible for my first set, Uniroyal TigerPaw on Steelies. They suck on dry pavement. I had to floor it on a turn from a standstill as I realized someone was doing 80+ through the light I was taking a left at. Ive never had all four tires spin on dry pavement in any subaru Ive owned.

Pros: cheapest snow tires possible
Cons: suck on dry pavement
Vehicle: Subaru
