Engine oil Castrol or OEM Subaru

Castrol Engine oil

I would recommend the Castro Edge PROFESSIONAL 0w-20. Been using it in my wife’s LR4 since we got it and it was the consensus on best oil when I first did my research. It’s a little pricey but we’ve had zero engine issues with this.

Pros: zero engine issues
Cons: a little pricey
Vehicle: Land Rover

Castrol Engine oil

I use Castrol Synthetic 10w-30 on mine.

It’s thicker oil, so I feel like it gives the engine better protection. With 272k miles on it, I figured why not.

Pros: better engine protection
Cons: thicker oil
Mileage: 437734 km

I’ve been running Castrol GTX 10w30 conventional in my 9000 Aero. Brought it to a Saab specialist and he recommended it. Need to have the valve seals redone and the oil is thick enough that it doesn’t get past the seals and no smoke. No issues running it. I change it every 3 months regardless of how far I’ve driven.

Pros: no issues running it
Cons: thick enough, no smoke
Vehicle: Saab 9000

Castrol is great option if it is not fake, also make sure to change oil every 10000km (6200 miles). Those engines are bulletproof, should cause no issues

Pros: great option
Cons: if it is not fake
Mileage: 10000 km

OEM Subaru Engine oil

0w20 provides your engine with more wear protection .

There is minimal difference between 0w16 and 0w20, with 0w20 provided marginally better wear protection and 0w16 providing slightly better fuel efficiency since it's slightly thinner and provides less internal resistance.

Pros: better wear protection
Cons: less fuel efficiency
Vehicle: Subaru

OEM Subaru Engine oil

I have a slow oil leak (something like a quart every 1,500 miles). Dealer quoted just under $3,000 for the fix when it was 17 years old with 110,000 miles. I'll just buy the occasional quart of oil.

Cons: slow oil leak
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 110000 km
