do you have any information on why signature series didn't get the API cert?

one thing I have found when researching this today is that with Group I-III oils you can change basestocks w/o recertification, but with IV-V you can't. so the API does play favorites just a little to the oil that comes out of the ground. |

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried G oil? Have heard some good things about it but never done much research. They offer a full synthetic 0w20.

All oil is biodegradable, I just take the plug out and watch the oil return into the ground.

Just curious, at what mileage point did you switch to synthetic if you did at all? Appreciate the feedback.

2012+ Imprezas are factory-filled with synthetic oil. Only a few people on this forum have put conventional oil in their cars and it was usually for experimental purposes due to oil consumption. The rest of us (I'd hope) are still running synthetic oil to this day. I personally ran Subaru Synthetic 0W-20 up to about 4K miles and then Castrol Edge Titanium 0W-20 up to 59K miles, now I am running Amsoil Signature 0W-20 and just hit 67K miles yesterday. My car has yet to consume any oil even with 7K oil drain intervals.

I will let you know how this next run goes as I am going to pull a sample at 7K miles and then base the oil drain off of the recommendation. I have never done an oil analysis on this car so I am excited to see how she is doing. |

I've been running Penzoil plat 0W20 since after my first dealer change. I get it at Walmart. I buy my filters at Napa. Yesteday I picked up another and they brought out a smaller NAPA gold, turns out the NAPA lists a different filter for the Impreza 2.0 and the XV 2.0, the one listed for the XV is the one I have been using, bigger filter. They are a wix filter.

I usually put in a little over 5. I think just 5 quarts would be ok too without oil consumption.

I have always filled with 5.3 qts, and will continue to do so. With so many people concerned about oil consumption and low oil level indicators, I don't know why anyone would intentionally put in less than the full amount of oil.

So I took back my pennzoil PurePlus to walmart yesterday cause the one I got was opened - and the one I got was opened as well! I did check it at the store and it seemed to be factory sealed, but taking it home and trying it, it wasn't. I guess I should just twist and open every oil I buy while I'm at Walmart?
I give up, that was the only bottle they had there, and I can't stomach going back to Walmart any time soon. |
