Ok smart bums give me a list on brands and why one is better than the other when they are the same type ,viscosity, and meet the same standard specs ????

And dont give me feel by the bum HP ratings or it feels better sounds better or some stupid thing like after 5000k the oil was blacker :roll:

This list must be you own experience not what you Googled
I had x years in the oil game as a marketer and know whats in a name and whats in a product this was done using a spectrophotometry you would be surprised what ppl pay for a name against a shelf brand


Oh look... Someone wants to get all technical and adult like. :roll:

I'll go out on a whim here...

I'm pretty sure no one gives a toss about your opinions or your oil marketing days champion and you having something to say about paying for a name against a shelf brand is a massive surprise when you drink that gay, dick in bum beer you love and will drive a country mile for.

Are you seriously that socially inept that you are oblivious to how you come across?

Or are you that deluded that you see it but don't care, convincing yourself of your superiority complex actually being true? Do you live in a box?

It defies belief, really now. :?

I bought the car for $16,000 8 months back and blew it at 130,000 kms. After doing the rebuild I did 10,000 kms on the new engine then blew it again.

Ideas? Options? ?!?!?!?!?!


Delvac doesn;t sound too good to me

I'm using Delvac MX15W-40. It's what MSR recommends and as a tuner and a guy who's been spot on with his work so far I'm happy to take his advice.

He does recommend 5000km oil change intervals when using Delvac too.

Bruce does he recommend this for all EJ motors? Is it irrespective of age / config?

So oem 2.0 ej205 and oem ej255/257? 20,000kms, 100,000kms, 200,000kms?

Built motors? Again is it dependent on kms for these built motors?

Curios what his thoughts would be on this

And GT subi - don't give engine advice please... :?

Good question Mick and I've not asked him about all conditions suitable for running Delvac.

Maybe Jackson would be better to answer that.

I do know that the guys who have been to see him from Melbourne have all been advised to use Delvac including some very low km MY12 WRXs.

I've not found any adverse symptoms from running it with my motor at 100,000kms and it does sound more quiet with it.

Our Foz also seems to like it.

There are also some H6s running it and have seen no oil loss and no complaints from the owners.

i was recommended by some subaru forums to use DELVAC.

But anyway, i figured the reason why i spun the bearing.

Was due to use of WRONG PERTROL, was using 95 instead of 98. Strang enough :s
