Engine oil VALVOLINE or OEM Subaru

Valvoline full synthetic with max life was the best oil I tested based on blackstone results.

I'll use my Valvoline happily.

I was skeptical of this oil until I saw some actual results and a few oil analysis. Whatever this special carbon eating molecular structure they have come up with works and isn't damaging to parts. I'm at about 29K miles and just put this oil on the VB.

Valvoline VR 1 straight 40

Change the oil and filter then I use valvoline vr1 10w30. Remember vw engines rely on oil flow, not heavy viscosity.

Valvoline MaxLife 10W40. Made specifically for older engines with high mileage.

I just did the restore and protect on my 2015 and let me tell you that it has made a massive improvement. Immediately the engine runs quieter and smoother and after 500km it’s like my engine has much more power.

I think that as a general rule you want a motorcycle specific oil in your primary because of specific additives in it for a wet motorcycle clutch. Just don't use a super slick oil like the Valvoline VR1 Racing blue sapphire stuff.

I recommend valvoline syn power mst C3 for Renault diesel engines with dpf filter. Low saps oil which will produce less carbon in your engine. I have 110hp version of 1.5dci and use this oil for last 6 years. Never had a problem and oil consumption is minimal

I refill about 1/2 qt of oil every 2500 miles.
