Engine oil Mannol or OEM Subaru

Oi analysis came back and no extra signs of wear... Mannol is great oil just change at 5k and add in oil additive such as ceratec every other change

I've used for the last 20k miles and no problems! Just change at 5k.

Also been using Mannol. Do 6k oil changes though. Made chain noise on start up. Swapped back to mannol noise gone.

I've used Mannol for a few years, it's dirt cheap here in the UK and I've never had any issues with it.

Using Mannol since years in Mercedes Diesel and gas engines , also in a BMW Boxer.

Onto my third or fourth big bottle of Mannol in a Toyota 2.2d4d and it has never missed a beat.

I bought oil last year for 22€ for 10l and I use the HiFlo filter with RC on it. Oil is from Mannol. Full synthetic, what do I need more? All the oil company’s always tell you that they are the best, but they don’t even tell you what the difference with their own oil is. Let alone how they are better then the others.

I would also make sure that every time you fill up the gas you check the oil dipstick and if it’s a little low top off the oil. In fact, I think this is probably crucial to owning an older Subaru like mine mine has 300 K.

Personally I use 5w-30 because it's the cheapest. I've used 0w-20 and 0w-30 in the car also. Can't tell what is in the car at any given time as it runs exactly the same regardless so just use the cheapest that's still up to the relevant specifications.

I avoid the 5 minute drive-thru places. One of them wanted over $100 for full synthetic on my Subaru Forester. Not worth the 5 minutes.
