I'd change it more often with a turbo, especially if it's just oil cooled but I'm sure yours is water cooled.

Changing oil is the same as changing tires. Do it when you feel like it needs to be done.

I can get you amsoil at cost + S&H shipped to your house.

Fuck Amsoil...all their tests show their oil is the best done by guess who? Amsoil. LOL

Wally World has Castrol Full Syn 5qts for 21 bucks. That is about 6 or so dollars more than regular. The price difference isn't that great and with turbo charged gas engines, the oil gets hella hot.

Walmart will have some good sells on Rotella. I'll be running this next time.

Castrol syntec 5w-40 in my passat 1.8tT and Mobil 1 in my eagle talon.

The Subie has gotten Mobil 1 Full Synthetic as of today. I wanted to change last weekend but I needed hubby's help. I wanted to see how it worked with the cold temps this past weekend but since I didn't get to it until today, I can only hope for more cold temps.

I know. I couldn't believe that I was actually typing that but the changing of the weather has little to no affect on me.

YOU won't notice anything different. You're engine will, but the human will not.
