just saw an ad while watching a Hoonigan's video about a young man whose been using Techron, because he saw you use it on your videos. Crazy coming back and watching your old videos and seeing how far you've made it, keep it up! I look forward to the new Hawkeye build.
That's so awesome you're doing an AOS giveaway. Those things aren't cheap. Yet another reason why you deserve way more subs than what you have now. I love your channel because you actually take the time to teach people instead of just making content. Keep up the awesome content dude.
So far I've tested Amazon Basics, Motul, and Subaru OEM. AMS Oils is the next one on the list. I've noticed that while Subaru did extremely well, when using the 100% synthetics instead of full synthetics the car will NOT burn oil.
Appreciate the support! I love making these videos and without the excitement and the enthusiasm videos are just boring to watch. Got motul in the que right now its sitting at number 3 so next up will be rotella and then motul 😁
I've used most engine oils in the same car and I can tell you that Castrol an Mobil 1 made my pistons ping and many other oils did it too. But then I switch to Kendal and the pinging was gone and the engine was smoother. I also tried Amsoil and I did not noticed a huge (but there was a small difference) difference from Kendal. Then I changed to Pennzoil and it seems to perform the same as Kendal. I also tried Quaker and I did not hear any pinging nor other symptoms. I also opened the engine top and I did find the metal darker specially at some parts like under the camshaft or at corners. Now I have switch to Royal Purple and the engine seems to be running smoother and not as hot as before, and it feels more powerful, and so far no pinging yet. It's the same vehicle, the same oil viscosity (5W-20) for all brands and full synthetic (I always used the best version from each brand, for example Amsoil Signature Series, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, etc) and always changed at 5K (give or take 100 miles). With the Royal Purple I have started with their basic synthetic oil, and the vehicle is performing better than with any of the other oils. The next one I will try is the Royal Purple HPS which is supposed to really clean the engine, as shown in a real life example (see the video titled "Did Royal Purple ruin my BMW engine? Royal Purple Part 3"). But I wonder why you refused to test Royal Purple, what's the reason? Anyhow, after watching that video I decided to try it and the vehicle is running better than with Amsoil and Pensoil. Also, I was going to try Motul but after watching the results of the oil in the channel of "Project Farm" where he compares many oils across the board, it's one of the worst. I also saw other videos form other channels about Motul and it does not clean the engine at all when compare to Amsoil or Pennzoil, and it also evaporates faster than most. I'm surprise many recommend it. I have also compared the results from Blackstone Labs provided in another channel here from various oils and Motul is no better than Amsoil or Pennzoil or even Quaker. Again, why don't you wanna try Royal Purple? I would like to add your results to my statistics. This is a certified hood classic.
Keep this up man! I am new to the Subaru family and just picked up my sti about 5 months ago and it's been the best decision I have made in my life. Always enjoy your content man thanks for all the advice and knowledge!
Just got a 2015 wrx a week ago. Came across your videos right away. Subscribed right away. I’ve been watching these almost every day. Keep up the good info.
I’d like to see how well the OEM Subaru motor oil does compared to the other brands you listed. Currently have a 2019 WRX which I would love to win the AOS for.
Appreciate it! I've used motul before and always said I was happy with it but looking back on it i dont know why I was, these numbers will be awesome to get a feel for each oil! 😁
I appreciate you looking into this because I would like more information definitely don’t know enough about the oils to know which one to choose thank you for doing this
Buying a 15’ Launch Edition next week and I’ve just been introduced into watching you after randomly showing up on my recommended, have an extreme amount of knowledge on the GC chassis given I’ve owned 2 coupes but now into a new chassis that I never really looked into seeing you and your similar addiction to JDM parts makes me happy, to hoping this channel grows to what it deserves this year. Cheers man and thanks for the opportunity to hopefully win a AOS!
I have always wanted a GC Coupe but they are so hard to find near me. Appreciate the support and excited to hear your picking up a Launch Edition! Good luck one the Giveaway and thank you for the support!
Been using Motul 8100 5w-40 in my WRX and couldn’t be happier. On top of it seeming to feel smoother, my car has been losing less oil between changes as well. **I’d recommend throwing on a Fumoto oil drain valve. It’ll make these changes a lot easier.
That's the next one to be tested, ordered the oil a few nights ago. I have one just need to install it when I swapped my oil pan I had the wrong plug for my killer B pan
I'm interested in seeing the analysis on motul. I am considering changing to it. Thanks for the opportunity to win a AOS, I've been thinking about getting one after your video on it!
Should check out Amsoils Signature series, been using it since I got my WRX, have had zero issues and the engine seems to run a bit smoother with it vs the stock oil. It's a bit more expensive though, but I think you get what you pay for with oil in most cases. Great channel btw, Lots of good info :O.
Very true. I've got it in the que 😁 oil changes are generally pretty expensive for me anyway at this point the car takes 6.9 qts of oil now 🤣 but I am interested to see how amsoil performs against the others. Its always been a quality oil. Also appreciate the feedback and support!
Love the idea of bringing this series to your channel. I'd be interested in seeing the results of Schaeffer's Supreme 9000 Full Synthetic oil. 5W-30. Smaller batch oil, like Schaeffer's, tend to have a more generous amount of friction modifiers (Micron Moly/ Penetro) to resist thinning at high temps. No question that some of these larger batch oil brands have reduced additives, over the years, to appease car manufacturers and support their goal of providing longer warranties to the catalytic converter. Smaller batch brands are not influenced to follow the same "standard". May want to try their oil for your series as it would bring some good variation to your test results. Schaeffer's is all I've ever ran in my Stage 2+ pro-tuned 2018 STI, for whatever that's worth.
Your the second person to request that pil, I've never heard of it until today so ots definitely made it onto the list. I'm super interested to see how it compares to some of the larger brand oils that are out there.
Found your channel about 5 days and have watched pretty much every video. Love what you do and I love the in depth install videos and discussions! I always look forward to seeing more!
Great content! Just got a 2018 STI my self and love it. Your videos really helped me understand the car better. I’ve owned and modified mostly Audi and rebuilding a 280z, so all of your info has been great, and easy to learn about the intricacies of WRX STI’s. Keep them coming!!! Thanks
Appreciate the support! Jealous of your 280Z I had a 280ZX I was swapping a few years back ordered a RB25 and had it ready to go in the car. After I pulled the interior I found out the chassis was gone. Precious owner used spray foam to cover large rust holes. Had to scrap the project safely. Glad that the videos are helping though, great thing to hear! 😁
Smeedia I wish it was the case, but I’m in the same boat. I live in Massachusetts, so the car has plenty of cancerous rust. Doing all the work my self, nearing completion of the driver side from all its rust. New metal, all around, car is a complete shell. Thanks for taking the time to reply, and cool to hear about your Z experience. If your a lover of JDM it is for sure on your list of cars to one day own. Thanks
New to the channel. Really great structure and informative videos. Not much of those around for Subarus Edit: Also recommend running a Tokyo Roki (Mazda filter) oil filter or the Wix XP filter. Those are the two best filters. The OEM blue is basically the same as a base FRAM filter which isn't best quality.
Appreciate the feedback! I try to make them ad inform as time as possible and still entertaining. The OE Filter is not one of my favorites to use so I know where your coming from. I generally run the Cusco Oil filters and they've always come out clean whenever I am doing a change
@@Smeedia No problem! Didn't know Cusco made oil filters. Got the info about filters from MrSubaru1387. Had a good video on majority of the filters you can find. Eventually gonna try doing an oil analysis
@@Berserked filters are also very important components and dont really get touched on so I appreciate you bringing them up. I'll have to look a little more into it. The tests are worth it I think they're about $25 a sample which is not too bad
@@karlpoglitsch1087 thank you for the part number! I've used those on my 07 STI Before, worked pretty good from a visual aspect. Probably just restock up on them 🤣
Love the energy! Good info to keep in mind. I usually do my oil changes every 4 to 5 thousand miles and I use mobile 1 full synthetic. Thanks for this info
You should do a video on "Cobb AP gauges explained" and what the best ones are to monitor your engines health and how to know what's best for your motor! That'd be dope!
Awesome! It would help a lot if you have oil pressure and temp gauges installed, they show how pressure reacts to heat. When up to operating temps, 30 weight oil shears down to 5psi at idle or less. Very scary. Subaru recommends 5w30 viscosity for EPA standards. I stopped using Rotella T6 since my last two oil changes and now use Castrol Edge 0w40 Euro. It gets to the bearings quicker than 5w oil, idle pressure is 14-20psi, where it should be at operating temps. Oil pressure is much better at high RPMs over T6. T6 is meant for increased load and heat at low to mid RPMs, that's why it's a diesel oil. At high RPMs, T6 is susceptible to aerating. Some have also spun bearings with T6. As a daily, use 40 weight. If you're tracking for long periods, use 50 weight (of the same brand and blends). Drain and use 40 weight afterwards since 50 weight will cause wear every morning. What brand? It's up to you...
I've got the oil pressure gauge installed, was talking with one of my buddy's and he brought up a good point to treat how long it takes the oil pressure to get to a normal operating range, and how long it takes to fully build pressure in the system. Awesome feedback also, T6 had always been a oil that's talked about so it will be interesting to see how it reacts when tested and what the tests from the lab come back as
@@Smeedia It brings me to tears when someone first fires up their Subie on a cold morning and just drives to 7000rpm out the parking lot. This will be an interesting series, thanks for doing this!
@@octurbojoe OMG I know, I don't understand the cold start and revs..... Takes a little time for oil pressure to drop. I mean I am partially guilty to this whenever I am late for work. But I still let the car drop pressure a little before just driving. Im excited for the results from all of these oil tests! Going to be a lot of oil too lol I forgot my car now takes 6.9 qts. of oil lol
@@Smeedia Yeah if I'm late, I'm late, lol. I'll save the bearings. It takes me 5 minutes to wait until pressure drops down to 50psi and *coolant* temp goes up 160°F. I'll drive around like a pussy, no more than 3K rpms until I see the oil temp needle come up to 140°F for normal driving up to 4K rpms. I don't hit redline until temps are at least 180°F, with oil pressure being already at normal operating temps at 14psi. You'll be one slimy, oily dude at the end of the series. 😂
That actually looks like a good quality oil! Dont know the base, probably a HC base oil since its the entry level oil of castrol, but the additive package is quite good, even more on used oil. Molibdenum, not much calcium but enough magnesium to compensate, boron. Thats a good quality package.
It will be a good one! Been planning it for a while so excited to finally get it out there! Theres not much information or data to back up people's recommendations so hopefully this helps some people out 😁
AOS Sounds nice for my Hawkeye Sti still trying to figure out this car got it for 7K great quality videos it’s a trip you don’t have more than 50K subscribers
I’ve searched for what oil to run through my STI on TH-cam for weeks. Thank you for providing viable information and the potential for more viable information. I can’t stomach another “this is oil. Oil make engine do engine stuff” video when I’m trying to make an educated decision on a car I spent 30 grand on
Totally feel you on that 🤣 trying to get some actual data and numbers behind the different oil types. Lol without any information it's all bias from people.
i used the castrol for my first oil change but i have been looking into motul nd rotella since alot of ppl say thats what they go with. cant wait to see the results it will be interesting.
I just installed the JDM side mirror with the leds yesterday. I love it so much. I am looking forward to see more videos like that! Am I officially entered for AOS? haha Thank you for the videos!
Just picked up a 2019 STI, My first subaru and it has always been my dream car. excited to see the oil tests as its been something I was wondering about as I put miles on my new subi. Love the channel cant wait to see results man. keep it up! An AOS is something ive looked at doing, so many options.. badass of you to do a giveaway!
Really love your videos bro… they are a great help… im pretty sure you have answer this question a billion times but what is the best oil and oil filter you recommend for a 19 sti… im planning on down my oil change and i just want the best for my sti?
I changed to t6 5w 40 from motul 5w 40. Notice little less feedback knock not sure if it’s correlated lol but motul does hold its color for quite sometime. I used Castrol gtx 5w40 and noticed it discolored pretty quickly. I tended to change oil almost every 1-2k miles, or based on if I’m driving it harder then usual. Haha. Can’t wait to see all the results. Awesome video again!
Just ordered the next oil for the segment, got some Motul 5W/30. Car takes 7 quarts of oil now had to get more than I though 🤣 Rotella will be the next oil right after motul
Damn 7! Lol I’m pretty sure you will like the motul. I feel like it runs pretty good. T6 feels smoother but could be placebo from just knowing there is a big t6 crowd. I’m sure different builds work better with different oils too. Can’t wait for the next video keep it up bro!!
Thank you! Im also interested to see the results. Everyone always claims one or the other is the best oil so figured I would actually test them via a lab to see what actually is one of the best ones to use.
I’ve ran T6 in both my 04 wrx and now my 05STI... I recommend it to friends because of how well the engine responds and sounds to it. Testing oil: T6, ams oil, and amazon oil
@@happyfella89 I dont want to push any oil on anyone because everyone will have their own preference, but giving the data will allow people to make their own choice 😁
Will you be testing the Rotella T6 Multi-vehicle 5w30? All I ever hear / read about people running in STi’s is the 5w40 T6 and never the 30 weight option... I would love to see an analysis on the 5w30 since it’s the recommended weight for the vehicle. I’m thinking either the Rotella T6 multi vehicle 5w30 or Motul xclean 5w30. Love the sti content and look forward to this mini series! Keep it up brother!
Was planning on just running the 5W/40 but adding in the 30W is a great idea also. Definitely one I'll do to compare the 30W to the 40W! Appreciate the support 😁
Going to run the OEM Subaru oil up to 3K miles, get it tested and if it comes back alright then were going to run it up to 5K miles and see how it olds up
Just found this channel as I've been looking into buying a WRX recently. I'm excited to see what you'll find through this series. Great vids man love the channel
@@Smeedia yeah so far from what I've found they seem pretty good. Most of what I've heard were for the older models without the fa20dit engine. Only thing I've found was the engine needing cleaned because of egr and direct injection. Thanks for the input I trully apreciate it bud 👍🤙
Can you please do eneos 5-40 👍the tuner shop I go to only uses this oil, would be really nice to see how different this Japanese oil really is on paper. Thanks and keep up the great content 👌
Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see the results, especially on the Rotella. I’ve been wondering if the Rotella truly is a better oil or if it’s just over hyped. Attempting to test my luck with the AOS.
Smeedia for how short of time you’ve been vlogging I must say you are definitely in my top 5 Chanel’s to watch for Subaru related stuff especially that you seem like such a genuine person! Keep it up man.
@@PeacockVisuals609 I really appreciate that, I enjoy making the videos and getting it out to everyone. I would say I am pretty genuine lol No point in trying to be anything aside from myself. I feel like people would notice rather quick if my demeanor changed or attitude in the videos lol. Regardless I really appreciate the feedback and the support its a huge motivator to keep making more.
The dirty oil you showed is what the additive package should be doing. It suspends the dirt and particles until the next oil change. Castrol is a very good oil, they add a very good additive package to their oils. For the price point you can’t get a better oil.
I fell down the rabbit hole of oil performance haha. Discovered 5w40 is a little nicer for modified EJ motors since our cars run hot but oil coolers help mitigate that. Popular oils for EJs are Motul, Rotella T6, and schaffers. All those are really good. Even tho t6 is for diesel it’s good for cars without cats. I just got a sponsorship with Puröl and highly highly recommend you check them out. Even tho they are new they provide amazing specs.
Most people get this backwards but the first number is the actual weight of the oil. The additives make the 5 weight oil act like a 30 or 40 weight at or around 212 degrees. 5 weight means it has the viscosity 5 times that of water. Water is the baseline whitch would be 0.
Once I started owning and driving my own cars I've used Amsoil Signature Series in each vehicle. I swear by it after having tested other synthetic oils. I'm not sure if it's 'the best' but it's usually within the top 3. I'd like to see this tested as I just bought a '17 WRX and am new to the Japanese import scene as I've owned all American muscle up until this point. I plan on using Amsoil Signature Series 5W-30 in it as recommended.. but I'd like to see your results as well!! Great channel and thanks for the vids!!
I have got amsoil in the que and am curious kn how it will perform, it has always been a more quality oil so I'm expecting some good results with it! Appreciate the support! How are you liking the WRX compared to your previous cars?
@@Smeedia I've been a diehard mustang guy and owned 7 of them among other various ford vehicles. 2019 was a very bad year for me and I had to trade in my 2016 mustang 5.0 with a performance package and a loaded 2013 ford raptor crew cab.. I've always respected subaru, especially the STI's, because being a mustang guy I could never out launch their AWD. That, along with their practicality, fuel mileage, seating for four, and all weather capabilities made it the car of choice if I had to have a practical car that still feels sporty and fun to drive. My WRX had 35,001 miles on it when I bought it Dec 8th and I've put a thousand on it since then. It's blue and bone stock. Aside from the mileage it felt brand new. It has nowhere near the power my mustang had, BUT, it launches really well. It feels like a little go kart to me because of the low nose and the AWD. It really is super fun to drive and I have plans for it. I have a degree in automotive technology and high performance engineering, so learning about this car coming from domestics is fun and one of the reasons I've been drawn to your channel. There aren't many WRX's or STI's where I live here in Wichita, KS, so I'm planning to make mine a 400 to 500hp mustang and camaro killer if it's even possible on the FA20 motor. We'll see, I'm still researching it.. anyways, thanks again and I look forward to chatting more and seeing more videos!!
Great video and channel! I've found out about your channel last week and have watched almost all of them by now. I'm on the verge of starting modifying my STI and the AOS would be perfect to start off. Fingers crossed!!
I have a 2018 WRX with 47,000 miles and I’m thinking of changing from pennzoil platinum to Castrol GTX after this video. Thank you Smeedia! I’ve been following you ever since I got my WRX last month. What oil filter are you using?
I got a forged piston Stage 2 short block from Horizontal Motorsports and will be getting ProTuned next week by PREracing! The car has very little mods done to it (Mishimoto Radiator, AEM cold air intake and Invidia N1 downpipe / exhaust) and I'm hoping for “Daily” status. AOS would help so much I don't think you understand! I took notes off your other videos and will be getting a COBB Accessport and Mishimoto Oil Cooler / fan shroud / hoses in the near future! Thanks for the info! For now I'll be replacing my power steering pump... again... P.S. let me know which transmission and rear diff fluid you use so I can prepare it for the Dyno!
Let me know your numbers! PRE does an amazing job! For the trans and diff I always use motul 75W90. Good luck on the giveaway for the AOS! How many times have you had to swap your power steering pump?!
@@Smeedia thanks for sharing! I'll make a video on my channel going over it including Dyno setup! As for the pump, one's been from cross threading issues and the other had a leak around the seal upon unboxing it. I should be getting another one on Saturday so I'll be sure to inspect it and take my time installing
If you guys would test Motul, that would be great! Im interested to see how it performs since i've been thinking about switching to Motul. And thanks for the chance to win the AOS, it would be nice to have that on my 2018 wrx limited!
Good luck on the give away! And motul is being tested right now 😁 currently had 600 miles on the oil so need to run it up to 3K miles before the test 😁
Super dope series I’ve been trying to see about the motul compared to everything else bc of what I’ve been seeing on forums. Super dope channel getting the same wheels as you just bc yours looks so dope! The aos would be super dope bc i need one haha great channel and thanks for all the hard work!
Appreciate the love and good luck ok the giveaway! I'm running the motul through the car now so it should be analyzed in about 2 months. Looking forward to getting the results back on it!
I use castrol edge 5w 30. So far so good apart from the fact that it burns quite a bit, so I have to top it up before an oil change. Rotella T6 seems interesting, but you cannot get it in Australia unfortunately.
Same. I wouldn't mind winning a sweet AOS. I've been using Motul Xcess 5w30 for my oil for years. Nothing issues (still stock though power levels) yet!
Personally I've never had an issue with head gaskets, the turbo models generally are pretty good about head gaskets be the NA models. But aside from regular maintenance, nothing out of the ordinary that I would suggest
Been looking for an answer to this question for a long time. What is the best oil? Love all your content, though especially this series. Gained a subscriber for sure. Excited to finally find out what the best oil is. Just bought my first Subaru (also my first turbo car) 3 weeks ago. 02 Subaru Impreza Wrx bugeye. Falling in love with it and the community surrounding the car more and more everyday. Got great plans for the Bugeye though it's gonna be a long journey. Winning that AOS would absolutely be amazing. Keep up the great content man!! 😁
Bug eyes are one of my favorites! Congrats on picking one up 😁 this series will be an exciting one. Actually get the data behind all of the oils. Granted they will be somewhat different from car fo car but using mine as a control should give some interesting results. Appreciate the support! 😁
@@Smeedia Bugeyes are my second favorite. Hawkeye is my first 😍 But they're pretty expensive haha. Thanks for the reply! Hope you enjoy your New Year's!

lol the OEM Oil..... Not a fan of it but ill run it for 3K miles to see how it does. Good luck on the entry! Excited to give back to everyone!
I believe mobil 1 is the company who actually makes the OEM oil.
I would suggest getting a fumoto valve for getting small samples. I have one and it makes changes super easy. No issues with it!
I have one but I need to wait to put it on, with the Killer B pan I got the wrong 1/2 NPT Plug and it sticks out too far to use the drain valve 😫
@@Smeedia Ahhh that sucks
Motul is all I use, no one has ever told me any different. That’s why u watch your channel...! Good job bro, keep going, I’ll be watching..!

Depending on what most people want next will determine whatever oil choice we go with next, but we will 100% be doing motul in this mini series!
And of course! Wanting to give back to everyone for the continued support!
I've been using Motul from like 10k miles to now (140k+) and have never had any issues. Switched to it for everything, even their 5.1 brake fluid. 👍👍
That specifically being Motul 5w30 8100 x-clean c3
Just bought my Subaru and haven’t stopped watching your videos. Super helpful & knowledgeable. Hopefully I get lucky and win the Perrin AOS!!
Can’t wait to see the Motul results! 🤟🏼
Same just ordered it last night, so it will be the next test!
Finally someone who tests castrol oil I been using castrol gtx for the longest and it feels good to see these reviews
I live by Castrol 😅 it's a good pil that is so under rated!
I'd be more hyped to get help installing some parts I've had sitting in boxes but here trying for that AOS
Should check out Amsoils Signature series, been using it since I got my WRX, have had zero issues and the engine seems to run a bit smoother with it vs the stock oil. It's a bit more expensive though, but I think you get what you pay for with oil in most cases. Great channel btw, Lots of good info :O.
Very true. I've got it in the que 😁 oil changes are generally pretty expensive for me anyway at this point the car takes 6.9 qts of oil now 🤣 but I am interested to see how amsoil performs against the others. Its always been a quality oil. Also appreciate the feedback and support!
Love the idea of bringing this series to your channel. I'd be interested in seeing the results of Schaeffer's Supreme 9000 Full Synthetic oil. 5W-30. Smaller batch oil, like Schaeffer's, tend to have a more generous amount of friction modifiers (Micron Moly/ Penetro) to resist thinning at high temps.
No question that some of these larger batch oil brands have reduced additives, over the years, to appease car manufacturers and support their goal of providing longer warranties to the catalytic converter. Smaller batch brands are not influenced to follow the same "standard". May want to try their oil for your series as it would bring some good variation to your test results. Schaeffer's is all I've ever ran in my Stage 2+ pro-tuned 2018 STI, for whatever that's worth.
Your the second person to request that pil, I've never heard of it until today so ots definitely made it onto the list. I'm super interested to see how it compares to some of the larger brand oils that are out there.
Found your channel about 5 days and have watched pretty much every video. Love what you do and I love the in depth install videos and discussions! I always look forward to seeing more!
Thank you! Some of the older ones are a little cringy 🤣 excited to get some more videos out!
Awesome series! I don’t think anyone on YT has gone this in depth, can’t wait for more & the giveaway!
Great content! Just got a 2018 STI my self and love it. Your videos really helped me understand the car better. I’ve owned and modified mostly Audi and rebuilding a 280z, so all of your info has been great, and easy to learn about the intricacies of WRX STI’s.
Keep them coming!!! Thanks
Appreciate the support! Jealous of your 280Z I had a 280ZX I was swapping a few years back ordered a RB25 and had it ready to go in the car. After I pulled the interior I found out the chassis was gone. Precious owner used spray foam to cover large rust holes. Had to scrap the project safely. Glad that the videos are helping though, great thing to hear! 😁
Smeedia I wish it was the case, but I’m in the same boat. I live in Massachusetts, so the car has plenty of cancerous rust. Doing all the work my self, nearing completion of the driver side from all its rust. New metal, all around, car is a complete shell. Thanks for taking the time to reply, and cool to hear about your Z experience. If your a lover of JDM it is for sure on your list of cars to one day own.
Thanks
I’m interested in valvoline, Mobil 1, and amsoil.
Great content. Love how thorough you are! Keeps me coming back, always wondered which oil I should be running. Can’t wait for the mini series.
Im excited to get more into the series and keep it growing! Appreciate the awesome feedback and support!
This is definitely going to be an interesting series. Thanks for the opportunity to win an AOS!
Appreciatw the support and good luck on the giveaway! 😁
This is going to be an interesting series. That AOS for my 08 WRX would be soooo gooood
New to the channel. Really great structure and informative videos. Not much of those around for Subarus
Edit: Also recommend running a Tokyo Roki (Mazda filter) oil filter or the Wix XP filter. Those are the two best filters. The OEM blue is basically the same as a base FRAM filter which isn't best quality.
Appreciate the feedback! I try to make them ad inform as time as possible and still entertaining. The OE Filter is not one of my favorites to use so I know where your coming from. I generally run the Cusco Oil filters and they've always come out clean whenever I am doing a change
@@Smeedia No problem! Didn't know Cusco made oil filters. Got the info about filters from MrSubaru1387. Had a good video on majority of the filters you can find. Eventually gonna try doing an oil analysis
@@Berserked filters are also very important components and dont really get touched on so I appreciate you bringing them up. I'll have to look a little more into it. The tests are worth it I think they're about $25 a sample which is not too bad
@@Smeedia Search N3R1-14-302 for the filters. I got them for about $6 each in bulk
@@karlpoglitsch1087 thank you for the part number! I've used those on my 07 STI Before, worked pretty good from a visual aspect. Probably just restock up on them 🤣
Love the energy! Good info to keep in mind. I usually do my oil changes every 4 to 5 thousand miles and I use mobile 1 full synthetic. Thanks for this info
You should do a video on "Cobb AP gauges explained" and what the best ones are to monitor your engines health and how to know what's best for your motor! That'd be dope!
Not a bad idea, I'll bet it added to the que 😁
You are the STI version of Shia Lebeouf...best STI channel 👍
THIS IS MY FAVORITE COMMENT! LMAO my ring tone is the song from Shia Lebeoufs musical 🤣
Smeedia 😂 keep up the good work...I hope your channel gets big✌️
@@lukeeluciano that would be a dream for the time being I enjoy the community and making the videos for everyone. Thank you! 😁
I’ve always used the oem Subaru oil for my 18 sti every 3k miles, I’ve been thinking of switching to rotella or motul. May the lucky win the aos.👊
Awesome! It would help a lot if you have oil pressure and temp gauges installed, they show how pressure reacts to heat.
When up to operating temps, 30 weight oil shears down to 5psi at idle or less. Very scary. Subaru recommends 5w30 viscosity for EPA standards.
I stopped using Rotella T6 since my last two oil changes and now use Castrol Edge 0w40 Euro. It gets to the bearings quicker than 5w oil, idle pressure is 14-20psi, where it should be at operating temps. Oil pressure is much better at high RPMs over T6.
T6 is meant for increased load and heat at low to mid RPMs, that's why it's a diesel oil. At high RPMs, T6 is susceptible to aerating. Some have also spun bearings with T6.
As a daily, use 40 weight. If you're tracking for long periods, use 50 weight (of the same brand and blends). Drain and use 40 weight afterwards since 50 weight will cause wear every morning. What brand? It's up to you...
I've got the oil pressure gauge installed, was talking with one of my buddy's and he brought up a good point to treat how long it takes the oil pressure to get to a normal operating range, and how long it takes to fully build pressure in the system. Awesome feedback also, T6 had always been a oil that's talked about so it will be interesting to see how it reacts when tested and what the tests from the lab come back as
@@Smeedia It brings me to tears when someone first fires up their Subie on a cold morning and just drives to 7000rpm out the parking lot. This will be an interesting series, thanks for doing this!
@@octurbojoe OMG I know, I don't understand the cold start and revs..... Takes a little time for oil pressure to drop. I mean I am partially guilty to this whenever I am late for work. But I still let the car drop pressure a little before just driving. Im excited for the results from all of these oil tests! Going to be a lot of oil too lol I forgot my car now takes 6.9 qts. of oil lol
@@Smeedia Yeah if I'm late, I'm late, lol. I'll save the bearings. It takes me 5 minutes to wait until pressure drops down to 50psi and *coolant* temp goes up 160°F. I'll drive around like a pussy, no more than 3K rpms until I see the oil temp needle come up to 140°F for normal driving up to 4K rpms. I don't hit redline until temps are at least 180°F, with oil pressure being already at normal operating temps at 14psi.
You'll be one slimy, oily dude at the end of the series. 😂
That actually looks like a good quality oil!
Dont know the base, probably a HC base oil since its the entry level oil of castrol, but the additive package is quite good, even more on used oil. Molibdenum, not much calcium but enough magnesium to compensate, boron.
Thats a good quality package.
Another vote on Schaeffer Supreme 9000. Been running it for a while in my 2015 STi. Keep up the good work!
Got some Schaeffer's on order last night 😁 from what everyone had told me it sounds like a high quality oil 😁
Can't wait to see the results. Should be due for an oil change towards then end.
Yay for the mini series :) I've always been curious about this, especially since I didn't have much direction when I did own my STI lol🤣🤗
It will be a good one! Been planning it for a while so excited to finally get it out there! Theres not much information or data to back up people's recommendations so hopefully this helps some people out 😁
@@Smeedia I'm sure it will. You're doing awesome for the community and noobs like me, so thank you haha😄
AOS Sounds nice for my Hawkeye Sti still trying to figure out this car got it for 7K great quality videos it’s a trip you don’t have more than 50K subscribers
Just started back in July so were growing slowly 😅 appreciate the support though! Hawkeyes are low key my fav generation. How you liking it?!
Recently went back and watched some of your older vids. Amazing to see the progress you’ve made keep it up!! Love the vids
Oh god some of those older ones are bad quality 😅 but it had come quite a long way. Appreciate the feedback and support! 😁
I’ve searched for what oil to run through my STI on TH-cam for weeks. Thank you for providing viable information and the potential for more viable information. I can’t stomach another “this is oil. Oil make engine do engine stuff” video when I’m trying to make an educated decision on a car I spent 30 grand on
Totally feel you on that 🤣 trying to get some actual data and numbers behind the different oil types. Lol without any information it's all bias from people.
That’s great content man I hope the best to your channel. You got a sub here 👍🏻
@@jamesfrench8834 Appreciate the support! Thank you
Turning on post notifications!! Wishing the new year will give me luck on winning the Perrin AOS!!
Appreciate the support! Good luck on the drawing and happy new year! 😁
This is what i was waiting for!!! Im running e-85 so very excited to know the results
Glad that the contnent will be helpful! I'm excited to see the results of it all!
i used the castrol for my first oil change but i have been looking into motul nd rotella since alot of ppl say thats what they go with. cant wait to see the results it will be interesting.
I just installed the JDM side mirror with the leds yesterday.
I love it so much. I am looking forward to see more videos like that!
Am I officially entered for AOS? haha
Thank you for the videos!
Glad that you like them, they're much more subtle than I thought but look great! Yes you are, best of luck on the give away 😁
Just picked up a 2019 STI, My first subaru and it has always been my dream car. excited to see the oil tests as its been something I was wondering about as I put miles on my new subi. Love the channel cant wait to see results man. keep it up! An AOS is something ive looked at doing, so many options.. badass of you to do a giveaway!
Appreciate the support and wanting to give back to everyone for being so supportive. Congrats on the 2019 STI! Definitely fun cars to own 😍
Just wanted to say your videos are outstanding. I've learned a crap ton from your channel. Keep up the great work.
Glad that the content is being helpful! The support is appreciated 😁😁
Really love your videos bro… they are a great help… im pretty sure you have answer this question a billion times but what is the best oil and oil filter you recommend for a 19 sti… im planning on down my oil change and i just want the best for my sti?
Probably filter and Motul 5W40 XCess 🙏🙏🙏
I changed to t6 5w 40 from motul 5w 40. Notice little less feedback knock not sure if it’s correlated lol but motul does hold its color for quite sometime. I used Castrol gtx 5w40 and noticed it discolored pretty quickly. I tended to change oil almost every 1-2k miles, or based on if I’m driving it harder then usual. Haha. Can’t wait to see all the results. Awesome video again!
Just ordered the next oil for the segment, got some Motul 5W/30. Car takes 7 quarts of oil now had to get more than I though 🤣
Rotella will be the next oil right after motul
Damn 7! Lol I’m pretty sure you will like the motul. I feel like it runs pretty good. T6 feels smoother but could be placebo from just knowing there is a big t6 crowd. I’m sure different builds work better with different oils too. Can’t wait for the next video keep it up bro!!
This is gonna be very cool and interesting, looking forward to the outcomes 👍🏻👍🏻
Great idea!!!
Thank you! Im also interested to see the results. Everyone always claims one or the other is the best oil so figured I would actually test them via a lab to see what actually is one of the best ones to use.
Smeedia great channel man!!!
@@tommanning7337 Thank you, appreciate you always been super active in the comments and the channel!
I’ve ran T6 in both my 04 wrx and now my 05STI... I recommend it to friends because of how well the engine responds and sounds to it. Testing oil: T6, ams oil, and amazon oil
Amazon oil is a good suggestion! Probably test that one at 1K and 2K miles before commiting to 3K miles lol
Science baby! Love it, looking forward to this series.
Without data it would be pure opinion and that wouldn't be verifiable. Gotta have the science! Appreciate the support 😁
No marketing bs that I've seen in other oil videos. Great content bud.
@@happyfella89 I dont want to push any oil on anyone because everyone will have their own preference, but giving the data will allow people to make their own choice 😁
@@Smeedia here's to hoping Amsoil Signature Series does good. About to do my second change, was going to send it in for analysis as well.
Will you be testing the Rotella T6 Multi-vehicle 5w30? All I ever hear / read about people running in STi’s is the 5w40 T6 and never the 30 weight option... I would love to see an analysis on the 5w30 since it’s the recommended weight for the vehicle. I’m thinking either the Rotella T6 multi vehicle 5w30 or Motul xclean 5w30.
Love the sti content and look forward to this mini series! Keep it up brother!
Was planning on just running the 5W/40 but adding in the 30W is a great idea also. Definitely one I'll do to compare the 30W to the 40W! Appreciate the support 😁
Learned a lot from you newest video about stages and helping me understand the subie life. Just got a 09 hatchback sti definitely could use this!
Congrats on the hatch! How Re you liking it!
Smeedia it’s fun! Definitely trying to figure out what exhaust system it has on it so I can I get it etuned!
@@julianwalls9529 you should be able to see the branding on the downpipe if you look behind the turbo from the top of the engine bay
What about OEM Subaru synthetic 5w-30..
Would be interesting to see!
Going to run the OEM Subaru oil up to 3K miles, get it tested and if it comes back alright then were going to run it up to 5K miles and see how it olds up
@@Smeedia awesome! Lots of guys are forced to use it for a while so it will be interesting to see.
Thanks and keep up the good work:)
Your videos are awesome! I like Castrol oil. I personally use Castrol edge in my wrx. Going strong for the last 38,000 miles
Appreciate the support and Castrol has always been a solid oil 🔥
Just changed my oil and put in motul, excited to see this series 👍
Putting in motul this weekend for the next test 😁
Always ran motul 5w30. Looking forward to seeing these results
I’m honestly super surprised you don’t have more subs lol I’m gonna send your vids to my friends!!
Thank you! Its growing, only been making these since July so we will get there! But the support is greatly appreciated 😍
Just found this channel as I've been looking into buying a WRX recently. I'm excited to see what you'll find through this series. Great vids man love the channel
Good luck on your WRX Hunt, what generation are you looking for? Thank you for the support 😁
@@Smeedia Thx man👍. I'm thinking of getting a new WRX Sport. Heard a lot of reliability issues so I was searching up on that.
@@renzo2579 the newer ones are pretty solid, the only issues I've really seen are heard of are with the CVT models
@@Smeedia yeah so far from what I've found they seem pretty good. Most of what I've heard were for the older models without the fa20dit engine. Only thing I've found was the engine needing cleaned because of egr and direct injection. Thanks for the input I trully apreciate it bud 👍🤙
Found your channel a week ago, best discovery in a while :)
Appreciate the support 🙌😁
Can you please do eneos 5-40 👍the tuner shop I go to only uses this oil, would be really nice to see how different this Japanese oil really is on paper. Thanks and keep up the great content 👌
Yes I will, I ordered some of their 5W30 last night but I'll get some 5W40 also, appreciate the support!
Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see the results, especially on the Rotella. I’ve been wondering if the Rotella truly is a better oil or if it’s just over hyped.
Attempting to test my luck with the AOS.
We will find out! I'm interested to see the results from the oil! Good luck on the give away! 😁
I like seeing oil reviews and analysis. My subi def runs differently depending what brand is in. Some burn faster than others as well
The AOS would be dope but I’m here for the content regardless! Running Pennzoil ultra platinum in my 18 wrx and it seems to be a fine choice so far
Appreciate the support and feedback, pennzoil is definitely one that's in the blue to be done!
Oil sample tests, sweet!! I've been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, hope to see that on the list. Keep pumping heat content 💪🏽
Got it on the list! Appreciate the support! 😁
@@Smeedia would love to see how this performs cause that what i usually run but would be willing to switched based on testing
Can’t wait to see where this channel goes in the future!
Same! Have some awesome ideas I'm excited to get out there!
Smeedia for how short of time you’ve been vlogging I must say you are definitely in my top 5 Chanel’s to watch for Subaru related stuff especially that you seem like such a genuine person! Keep it up man.
@@PeacockVisuals609 I really appreciate that, I enjoy making the videos and getting it out to everyone. I would say I am pretty genuine lol No point in trying to be anything aside from myself. I feel like people would notice rather quick if my demeanor changed or attitude in the videos lol. Regardless I really appreciate the feedback and the support its a huge motivator to keep making more.
Smeedia you got my full support, can’t wait until you start dropping some merch!
@@PeacockVisuals609 yassss, Actually ordered some 2 hoodies for the time being but once it grows a bit more we shall get some out!
I’ll be looking forward to the rotella test!
Same! That's one that I think everyone wants to see lol
Finishing up my Subaru rebuild this AOS would be an awesome addition to my build🤞, sick content btw🔥
Appreciate the support and good luck in the giveaway!
The dirty oil you showed is what the additive package should be doing. It suspends the dirt and particles until the next oil change. Castrol is a very good oil, they add a very good additive package to their oils. For the price point you can’t get a better oil.
Rad channel I stumbled upon!!! Fingers crossed for that AOS!!!
Appreciate the support! And good luck on the giveaway!
I fell down the rabbit hole of oil performance haha. Discovered 5w40 is a little nicer for modified EJ motors since our cars run hot but oil coolers help mitigate that. Popular oils for EJs are Motul, Rotella T6, and schaffers. All those are really good. Even tho t6 is for diesel it’s good for cars without cats. I just got a sponsorship with Puröl and highly highly recommend you check them out. Even tho they are new they provide amazing specs.
I'll have to check them out! Thanks for the recommendation 😁 normally i use motul but I'll have to give them a try
Great video man! I just got my new STI, I can’t wait to look back at all your videos to see how to install my mods, thanks for what you do man. 👍🏼
Appreciate the feedback and support! Congrats on the new STI 😁😁😁 Happy new year!
Smeedia thanks man! Same to you!
Most people get this backwards but the first number is the actual weight of the oil. The additives make the 5 weight oil act like a 30 or 40 weight at or around 212 degrees. 5 weight means it has the viscosity 5 times that of water. Water is the baseline whitch would be 0.
Once I started owning and driving my own cars I've used Amsoil Signature Series in each vehicle. I swear by it after having tested other synthetic oils. I'm not sure if it's 'the best' but it's usually within the top 3. I'd like to see this tested as I just bought a '17 WRX and am new to the Japanese import scene as I've owned all American muscle up until this point. I plan on using Amsoil Signature Series 5W-30 in it as recommended.. but I'd like to see your results as well!! Great channel and thanks for the vids!!
I have got amsoil in the que and am curious kn how it will perform, it has always been a more quality oil so I'm expecting some good results with it! Appreciate the support! How are you liking the WRX compared to your previous cars?
@@Smeedia I've been a diehard mustang guy and owned 7 of them among other various ford vehicles. 2019 was a very bad year for me and I had to trade in my 2016 mustang 5.0 with a performance package and a loaded 2013 ford raptor crew cab.. I've always respected subaru, especially the STI's, because being a mustang guy I could never out launch their AWD. That, along with their practicality, fuel mileage, seating for four, and all weather capabilities made it the car of choice if I had to have a practical car that still feels sporty and fun to drive. My WRX had 35,001 miles on it when I bought it Dec 8th and I've put a thousand on it since then. It's blue and bone stock. Aside from the mileage it felt brand new. It has nowhere near the power my mustang had, BUT, it launches really well. It feels like a little go kart to me because of the low nose and the AWD. It really is super fun to drive and I have plans for it. I have a degree in automotive technology and high performance engineering, so learning about this car coming from domestics is fun and one of the reasons I've been drawn to your channel. There aren't many WRX's or STI's where I live here in Wichita, KS, so I'm planning to make mine a 400 to 500hp mustang and camaro killer if it's even possible on the FA20 motor. We'll see, I'm still researching it.. anyways, thanks again and I look forward to chatting more and seeing more videos!!
Great video and channel! I've found out about your channel last week and have watched almost all of them by now. I'm on the verge of starting modifying my STI and the AOS would be perfect to start off. Fingers crossed!!
Thanks for the support a good handful of videos to watch! Whatcha got planned for the STI? 👀 and goodluck on the giveaway 😁
@@Smeedia I'm planning on going e85 on a stage 3ish. You should make a video on how much have you spent on your STI lol
I have a 2018 WRX with 47,000 miles and I’m thinking of changing from pennzoil platinum to Castrol GTX after this video. Thank you Smeedia! I’ve been following you ever since I got my WRX last month. What oil filter are you using?
I just use the stock OEM Blue filters 🔥🙏 never have seen a need for expensive filters.
How does this aos compare to the iag one? Seems like most people recommend iag over others. Great video and thanks for the input!
Perrin is still a great one to run, IAG is not a huge fan of people doing give always with their products last I heard 😅
@@Smeedia gotcha I guess that makes sense. Thanks for doing a giveaway and continuing the great channel!
I got a forged piston Stage 2 short block from Horizontal Motorsports and will be getting ProTuned next week by PREracing! The car has very little mods done to it (Mishimoto Radiator, AEM cold air intake and Invidia N1 downpipe / exhaust) and I'm hoping for “Daily” status. AOS would help so much I don't think you understand! I took notes off your other videos and will be getting a COBB Accessport and Mishimoto Oil Cooler / fan shroud / hoses in the near future! Thanks for the info! For now I'll be replacing my power steering pump... again...
P.S. let me know which transmission and rear diff fluid you use so I can prepare it for the Dyno!
Let me know your numbers! PRE does an amazing job! For the trans and diff I always use motul 75W90. Good luck on the giveaway for the AOS!
How many times have you had to swap your power steering pump?!
@@Smeedia thanks for sharing! I'll make a video on my channel going over it including Dyno setup!
As for the pump, one's been from cross threading issues and the other had a leak around the seal upon unboxing it. I should be getting another one on Saturday so I'll be sure to inspect it and take my time installing
Pennzoil Platinum is my go to. Project Farm has done some good oil testing.
If you guys would test Motul, that would be great! Im interested to see how it performs since i've been thinking about switching to Motul. And thanks for the chance to win the AOS, it would be nice to have that on my 2018 wrx limited!
Good luck on the give away! And motul is being tested right now 😁 currently had 600 miles on the oil so need to run it up to 3K miles before the test 😁
I run Rotella, I change it every 3k...I'm enjoying the content...
Appreciate the support, I use to run rotella and end up changing. But it will be interesting to see the results from Rotella!
Super dope series I’ve been trying to see about the motul compared to everything else bc of what I’ve been seeing on forums. Super dope channel getting the same wheels as you just bc yours looks so dope! The aos would be super dope bc i need one haha great channel and thanks for all the hard work!
Appreciate the love and good luck ok the giveaway! I'm running the motul through the car now so it should be analyzed in about 2 months. Looking forward to getting the results back on it!
Little confused on how to inter the drawing. But love the content and I use Valvoline motor so be cool to see how that works
Someone at random will be chosen dont really have to do anything 😅, also appreciate the support. I've got valvoline on the list!
I can't wait to see the results, keep up the good work!
Appreciate the support! 😁
Love the informative videos! It'd be great to win the AOS but the content you put out is a blessing itself.
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and the support 😁 good luck on the giveaway!
Great vid bro. Looking forward to the up coming vids on all the oils.
I use castrol edge 5w 30. So far so good apart from the fact that it burns quite a bit, so I have to top it up before an oil change. Rotella T6 seems interesting, but you cannot get it in Australia unfortunately.
Same. I wouldn't mind winning a sweet AOS. I've been using Motul Xcess 5w30 for my oil for years. Nothing issues (still stock though power levels) yet!
The motul will be a good one I just got it in the car two days ago. Interested to see the results! Good luck on the give away
Great channel and loads of info, just found tonight and watching as many as i can
Eyyyyy, appreciate it! If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out!
I’ve been wanting an aos for a while now and a red aos will go great with the way i plan on doing the engine bay in my 18 WRX
Another one that pops into my head is Shaffers I believe it was a littler higher en oil based on price! Worth a shot?!
Have it added to the list! 😁
Question on headgaskets tho would/do you use any additives that help prolong the gaskets from degrading? Also please do Rotella T-6 next 🙏🏻
Personally I've never had an issue with head gaskets, the turbo models generally are pretty good about head gaskets be the NA models. But aside from regular maintenance, nothing out of the ordinary that I would suggest
I would love to see how well it really works.
Been looking for an answer to this question for a long time. What is the best oil? Love all your content, though especially this series. Gained a subscriber for sure. Excited to finally find out what the best oil is. Just bought my first Subaru (also my first turbo car) 3 weeks ago. 02 Subaru Impreza Wrx bugeye. Falling in love with it and the community surrounding the car more and more everyday. Got great plans for the Bugeye though it's gonna be a long journey. Winning that AOS would absolutely be amazing. Keep up the great content man!! 😁
Bug eyes are one of my favorites! Congrats on picking one up 😁 this series will be an exciting one. Actually get the data behind all of the oils. Granted they will be somewhat different from car fo car but using mine as a control should give some interesting results.
Appreciate the support! 😁
@@Smeedia Bugeyes are my second favorite. Hawkeye is my first 😍 But they're pretty expensive haha. Thanks for the reply! Hope you enjoy your New Year's!
I was seriously considering an AOS after watching your reliability video. Might be the first 'mod' I do on my 15 WRX wether or not I win one.
Reguarless good luck on the giveaway and it's totally worth it to keep the oil out of the I take tract
Love the channel man. I submitted my sample last week hoping for some good results as well!
Thank you appreciate the support! What oil are you currently running?
I’ve been using Penzoil Platnium Plus based off forum research when I originally bought the car. Fingers crossed for that AOS :)
Good luck on the giveaway! And a good amount of people have requested pennzoil 🤔 have it on the list 😁
