The BEST OILS and FILTERS for your Subaru WRX/STi

To keep your Subaru reliable, keeping up to date on oil changes is important. But there is a huge debate about the types of oils, weights, and filters you should run. So I stopped by Oakos Automotive based out of Sterling Heights, MI to find out more.

Special thanks to Oakos for providing the kits ready to go. Have a question? Be sure to hit them up on instagram and tell them I sent you!

I found a cross referance for 2018 and up wrx sti's oil filter with a Larger filter with a close bypass pressure 20x1.5 thread with same gasket and a 21 micron filter rating a wix 50755 the Original filter is a 30psi and 50 micron and pretty small for the engine size and interval

I’m confused.. one minute he was turning the fumoto oil drain valve.. the next he was putting in a new standard drain plug???

I tried motul 8100 xcess 5w40 on my 2020 sti once and my dam immediately dropped. Pulled timing like a mofo. I thiught it was bad gas because ive never seen anythinf like it. It wasnt the bad gas, i drained the oil and swapped it back to my usual redline 5w30 and dam immediately returned to normal right away. My tuner was completely baffled and so was i lol

3:47 yeah I dont recommend doing that unless you want a BIG gouge and possible leaking....

Did you guys take a fumoto valve off during this oil change?

[aquapisces]

1:50 are you saying 400 whp range and a little above does not require a viscosity oil higher than 5w30?

[goo_gle]

why motul? why not liquimoly or amsoil?

New stock Subies are specced with 0-20 oil and that has me concerned. My gut says 5w-20 or higher for moderate climates. Any known recommendations would be appreciated.

8100 clean is junk, has one of the highest wear oils...research
