Goodbye everybody. It’s been real. I don’t know what happened yet but there is a definite knock. I’ll update when I get the chance. Might also take a break from the sub for a bit. Seeing other subies is just making me sad.

Sending off an extended abuse sample of Valvoline max life and finally testing penzoil platinum. Soon we will know what oil is actually the best oil.

Last oil sample came back and I’m done testing oils since my engine blew up not 24 hours after the last oil change. I’ll do a short writeup on all the results but TLDR is all full synthetic oils I tested were great, Valvoline full synthetic with max life technology was my favorite and barely wins.

Motul testing came back and it’s pretty impressive. Definitely gives Valvoline max life a run for its money.

PSA - updating the firmware on the AP will not affect any old tunes. Straight from Cobb.

Did an 5,000 mile test on Valvoline 5w30 full synthetic with max life and it came out amazing. Not sure if I’m going to be able to claim which one is better between Motul or Valvoline. Stay tuned.

Answering “what oil is the best oil” part 5. Penzoil platinum held up nicely. A hair thinner and less active additive than Valvoline but wear looks great. Onto penzoil ultra plat.

What oil is the best for the Fa20 part 3 - Valvoline max life kicks ass. From left to right we have valvoline max life, amsoil signature series, and oem. I am currently running motul.

Might be the first person on this sub to have a wrx that’s been hit by lightning. She’s fine now but what a story to have.

Put 8 hours into correcting the paint on the Tesla. The wrx will get its turn tomorrow.

Motul is getting sent off for testing. I could not for the life of me find penzoil ultra plat so I’m taking a break for now. I’ll resume testing next oil change.

For those of you doing a group N transmission mount here are the torque specs. However, I brought down the 17 mm tq to 80 ft/lbs instead of 105. That’s just me though.

Oil analysis came back on the Amsoil signature series. Left column is amsoil. Right column is OEM oil. Surprisingly close however there’s a significant mileage difference. Next oil is valvoline max life.
