Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or OEM Subaru

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

Liquimoly leichtlauf 5w40. Been told it’s a bit better than 5w30 in a 20+ year old engine due to being a bit thicker. Also does better at higher temps and I drive like a dick

Pros: better at higher temps

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

Liqui Moly leichtlauf hightech 5w40. Because it matches the BMW LL-01 specification and was formulated to help with the sticky piston rings issue common to many german engines. Noticed lower oil temp under load and a gradual reduction of oil consumption

Pros: lower oil temp, reduced consumption

OEM Subaru Engine oil

Oil being dark is a good indicator that you have to do an oil change. However, you shouldn't wait until it changes color to do it. Clear oil doesn't necessarily mean you can keep going.

Pros: regular oil changes
Cons: sludge build up

OEM Subaru Engine oil

It is well established that boxer engines want their oil changed and I do not think for a second that a visual inspection is valid for determining if it is time. Highly, **highly** recommend you change the oil per the manual without hesitation and regardless of what it looks like.

Pros: recommend oil change
Cons: visual inspection invalid

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

Running LM 10W-60 full synthetic in my S14. After 5000miles I can't say one is better than the other. Does the job, still has healthy color. Motul was also fine, no debris in oil filter, normal discoloration.

Pros: healthy color, does the job
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 8046 km
