We changed to Mobil 1 at 38K on our 97Leg 5spd. We now have 114K on it. It is relatively expensive, however, in my part of the country WalMart carry's it for $20 for 5qts. Not bad.
We put on about 14K per year and change it twice or when the oil turns color, always using a quality oil filter.
I think Mobil 1 helps start ups in the winter, here in NE and protects the engine when its really hot in the summer. My local subie mechanics think synthetics are great and sell another synthetic brands too.
We also follow the long term maint schedule and have our 120K maint coming up this year, timing belt, water pump etc.
Our mech's are Subie mech's only and have been in business for 15yrs, there honest and do the work on time.
If anyone know's of a better quality brake pad and rotor combo than stock could you please reply. It seems to me that replacement rotors are of poor quality. Is there an upgrade on rotor, pad combo's that would upgrade rotor life with out getting into racing or comp items. Thanks Jeff
