Engine oil Mobil or OEM Subaru

I’ve only used this Mobil1 oil for my 21 Camry SE. I do 5k intervals and it’s been great for the past 60K.

I run 0W-40 Mobil 1 European that meets the spec on the bottle. 10k changes since new.

Ive owned four 5.7s starting in 2005.

Changed all of them with 5w20 full synthetic, no real allegiance to a brand, but always a major brand (Mobil1, Valvoline, etc); typically 5k - 7k miles  between changes .

2005 had 250k , burned no oil, died when it hit a tree

2006 had 240k, would use 1/2 qt over 5k miles after about 225k.

2013, traded in with 225k, burned no oil.

None of these ever had a valve cover off.  I purchased the 06 and 13 new.  The 2005 I purchased with 100k on it.

The 4th is a 2021 with 35k on it. So far, so good.

I've been running 5w30 Mobil 1 full synthetic on my 03 hemi. 238k miles and still running perfect with no tick.

Mobil 1 ESP has specs very close to Subaru Japans own Pleiades oils. Its got loads of great certs, is widely available, well priced and highly regarded by loads of people.

Go with whatever is easy for you to source and also meets the VW502.00 standard. I personally run Mobil 1 0w-40 or Liquimoly 5w-40, whichever I can get cheaper.

My 911 has over 100k, I switched to 5-w40 mobil1. I’m sure driven is fine too, but mobil1 is perfect and designed for our cars, cultists be damned.

Mobil-1 FS 0W-40 is a solid choice, and you can’t go wrong with it.

Funny, I changed my oil today for the first time as well. Also 1700 miles. Not black but certainly a lot darker than the Mobil One 0w40 that replaced it..

I use to use Mobil 1 Full Syth. and it was a mistake the \"knocking.pinging\" noise will also reduce using the right grade oil. Learn from my past experiences.
