coldsoda Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 not really a deal. I get it at walmart for $20 a gallon. Make sure you get in on this $5 mail in rebate if you buy any (expires end of the year) - Limit is 4 rebates per person. http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/00/91/21/23/36/9121233630._CB296408113_.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1GG29 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'm getting it at AutoZone right now for $22/gallon. With AutoZone rewards, you get $20 back for every $100 you spend, so my costs are close to $18 a gallon. Then there's the MIR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oODanKNesSOo Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Is this the preferred oil for these subys? I come from the Jeeperz world, where it's royal purple or amzoil or go home...

Max Capacity Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yes, the T6 is what most use. My cars run Amsoil with a 7000 + mile OCI.

I personally feel Rotella is a cheap walmart brand of oil so I use Motul.. but alot of people here have success with the Rotella it seems like 03 WRB WRX (RIP) 04 JBP STI (sold) 07 DGM Legacy GT (RIP) 12 OBP STI (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally feel Rotella is a cheap walmart brand of oil so I use Motul.. but alot of people here have success with the Rotella it seems like just because you can buy it at walmart doesnt make it cheap oil. there are a ton of oil analysis reports and testing to show the oil is a quality choice. bobistheoilguy has a lot of info in that department. I run it in three of the subarus and two motorcycles in our garage, and have also done so on previous vehicles. I agree with your stance on Mobil 1 and Motul is also a good choice. If money was no object - I'd run redline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08 LGT Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 A lot of us use Rotella, but pretty much any modern synthetic oil with a proper OCI will be fine and mostly indistinguishable from another in engine longevity. If money was no obstacle, I'd use Motul or Amsoil. They just cost too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1GG29 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Rotella is a great oil for the money. Additionally, it's convenient to use one oil for motorcycles, cars, and trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apexi Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 That link sends me to amazon's home page. Maybe a new link, or filter brand and part numbers that were there? Edit: I went to amazon to see what they had for subscribe and save. If the link below works and doesn't expire, the only filter I'd really go with is the fram extraguard 9715. Though at $5.35 subscribe and save, it's not a very good deal. At that price, I'd just go with a 6 pack of oem subaru filters which are better than the ph9715.

DuckDynasty7 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 You can usually get oil much cheaper from a Meijer (Midwest), or Walmart much cheaper than any autoparts store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrikman Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Menards is the place to buy it here. Competitive with Walmart and goes on sale or offers rebates much more often. I usually grab 3-4 jugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagonation Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hate buying stuff at Walmart but I made an exception for that great deal. Just noticed Autozone has it for 20 by my work. Maybe I will get another couple gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
