The mechanic is absolutely wrong. You must use a 5W-40 C3 oil with the Fiat 9.55535-S2 specification, I use the Castrol Magnatec 5W-40 C3, which is cheap and easy to find, but any other brand with the correct specification is fine. A 0W-20 oil has insufficient pressure and film strength, and will lead to damage over time.

Pros: cheap and easy to find
Cons: insufficient pressure, damage over time
Vehicle: Fiat

Just a suggestion to other Sebring drivers. I know there are lots of "the best oils" out there, but they are not made for this kind of punishment, they will sheer apart.

Pros: good for racing
Cons: not discount brand

I change the oil myself...to ensure it's done correctly and with quality oil (I use Castrol Edge). And I go by the oil minder. I do smell gas during oil changes but it's not strong and never in the cabin between oil changes as some have reported.

Pros: quality oil, done correctly
Cons: smell gas during changes
Vehicle: Honda
Mileage: 60000 km

It\u2019ll be okay. Subaru engines are robust and that mix rate won\u2019t increase the viscosity enough to affect the oil flow rate out to the cams.\nPardon my skepticism regarding Castrol oils though. Haven\u2019t been a fan of them since the GTX days. The additives they\u2019d chuck in their generically sourced base oils glazed bores and gummed lifters.\nCost many a machine shop like ours a fortune in comeback work.

Cons: glazed bores, gummed lifters
Vehicle: Subaru
