Engine oil MOTUL or OEM Subaru
Im stage 2 and used to run liqui moly 5w-30 but it didn’t seem to make my engine run as smooth as it should until my friend recommended me motul 5w-40 and so I recommend motul 5w-40. Me and my friend both beat on our stage 2+ 340is and motul seems to make my engine run way healthier and smooth compared to liqui moly 5w-30.
Depende sa oil sir, Motul Htech100 gamit ko hanggang 1,500km nagwawala pa rin yung motor. Pero sa mga pipichuging oil tulad ng kixx at RS8 minola oil 300km pa lang ang lamya na
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.
I second those saying bring a spare quart of oil. I wouldn't be too worried about taking my 2012 Outback at 170K miles on such a trip...but would agree check the oil every 1000 miles or every morning (depending how far you go in a day) just to make sure it isn't getting low.
Check all your fluids ASAP. If any are low, top off as per the manual and monitor closely before you leave to make sure it's not leaking or consuming anything. Definitely bring extra oil, 1 or 2 quarts would be pleanty, and some paper towels and rubber gloves help too.
Should be fine, but CHECK THE OIL FREQUENTLY. This series of engines is notorious for oil consumption problems, which may not appear at all when doing short trips, but suddenly it's drinking 1qt or more per 1000 miles on the highway.
Take a quart of oil with, especially if you don't have reliable data on how much your engine burns. Check it occasionally and top off if needed.
I am becoming a big fan of Motul oils. If you look closely at the specs, they are really at the top of their game. Especially the cold weather performance.
I've always used Liqui Moly 5W-40 Leichtlauf, but yesterday I decided to put Motul X-Cess Gen2 5W-40...same quality? less money? I'll test that after 8k km and compare it to liqui
I used to run Motul 800, but switched to 710 now. 800 has a higher flash point for high rpm racing, and I was getting carbon buildup from not running the bike hard enough.
