Engine oil MOTUL or OEM Subaru

I prefer motul as I’ve used both and motul gives me less oil consumption from burning/passing through rings on my mk3 TT.

I love my Motul Xcess 5W-40, just becoming harder and harder to find.

I pay about that. Quality oil and filters cost money. Many shops price oil changes as a loss leader. Euro oil changes are not sold this way, you pay the true price of the service (roughly $80 in supplies, half an hour of labor). I pay ~$160, But you get quality oil in return.

I made myself the services, and used Motul 7100 10w50, I can feel the gearbox it's smoother.

Here is what IAG recommends

FA2ODIT (91 or 930ct) - Motul 5w30 8100 X-clean EFE, change oil every 2500-3000 miles

Motul 5w-40 8100 X-clean Gen2 may be used in climates where the average ambient temperature is above 80° fahrenheit. It is important to note that the oil used must carry the GM dexos 2 rating.

Motul. Always. Held up over 500hp for 2 years zero issues on unopened stock block plus its what almost all tuners recommend.

Motul 8100X-Clean for me, no problems!

I’ve been runnin Motul 7100 full syntetic for the last 15.000 km’s (9300 miles) never had an issue once.

The red Motul is amazing stuff!

I do have slight oil loss but I also track my car several times a year so it's to be expected. Recently switched to 5w-40 motul so we'll see how that does.
