Fellow mu-X owner here! If you're thinking about upgrading from the standard Isuzu Genuine Motor Oil 10W-30, check out the ZIC X7 Diesel 10W-30 Fully synthetic. I used Amsoil Turbo Truck 5w40 too (10k km interval) but it's expensive for my Garage queen mux haha. Mobil Delvac1 5W-40 is good as well.
SP certified oils have better LSPI protection than SN, and SP is what Subaru requires for this generation.
I use PUP 0w20 in mine. Lots of tests and UOA show that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is the best non-boutique oil you can buy. But honestly any top shelf oil will work. 5k km intervals are more important than brand with a turbo engine.
I have Signature in my 25. Smoothed out the engine noises quite a bit.
Do her a favor a change the oil, with Valvoline Restore and Protect or Pennzoil Ultra platinum, it will quite down a little and it would be great for the car.
Engine noise is a little, well noisy, mine is less rumbly/vibrationy after I changed my oil and used Amsoil Hybrid oil. I can’t generally feel anything when the engine kicks on now, before I could definitely feel it every time it kicked on.
I switched oil to AMSOIL signature series synthetic, from everything I read, it out performs other oils, used to use Mobil 1
Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic. My 1988 740 has near excellent compression at 245k og miles.
My biggest regret, not swapping out the shitty 0w-20 factory filled oil for some 5w-30 Amsoil, Motul, or Pennzoil Ultra platinum the moment I took it home. Don\u2019t wait till 1k miles.
Get a catch can but that mobile 1 oil you are using is for shit . Amsoil is best for mustangs and the best for that matter period it\u2019s cost but you can run it 25k
