I use Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic in my 21 Forester. $23 for 5qt from Walmart and $12 oil filter from dealership.
Project farm did a bunch of tests on all popular oil brands and amsoil won followed closely by pennzoil ultra platinum. The pennzoil is easier to get so that’s what I use on all my cars.
I like running pennzoil euro platinum 5w40.
If you can use Redline 5w30, go right ahead. You will not have an issue. I call Redline the guarantee oil. I can pretty much guarantee that you will never have the dreaded lifter tick. It has been known to quieten a ticking engine too.
I've been running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in mine for a while now, and it's done me well. Just hit 200k miles on the odometer last week, so no issues there. Run a good oil filter (I prefer Wix XP) and good oil and you're fine.
Pennzoil Platinum Euro Full Synthetic I've used the 5W-40 version for six years (EA888.3 engine). But any major brand full synthetic meeting VW 502 will be fine.
It's recommended by Nissan to use ester based oil. I use redline 5w-30. Pricey but I feel the difference and motor runs flawless imo
Using Redline 5w-50 on my E90 M3. it's supposed to have a similar viscosity at high temps as most 60wt oils. Comes up to operating temp faster and doesn't overheat.
Any LL-01 5W-40 is technically suitable and approved. I use Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 in the N55 and previously used it in a B58 540i. There are other options as well.
Try Pennzoil Ultra Platinum next, I have used it in my WRX and I'm super happy with it. It literally makes my engine run quieter.
