Not enough information on the linked site, but if you're running this in an EJ-Turbo-powered Subaru, please check to see if this is "Resource Conserving" oil.  Mobil 1, in certain weights and product lines, has been known to be a killer of turbocharged EJ engines. 

 

Spoken from experience....  :mad:

I have a VW TDI that specifies only 5-40 for the high temp turbo lubrication and long oil change interval. It prevents coking on the turbine bearings.  In my opinion 5w is too thin for an EJ motor.

 

What is "Resource Conserving"?
