Default penrite
Not many use the Penrite oils, Any reason why i have used them in most of my cars.. From the Vl turbo to the V8's and didnt see why not with the WRX now??

Like the Sin 0 oil they have is full synthetic 0W-50 the extra 10....

thoughts people???

Because penrite is shit.

Use either a 5w30 or 5w50 (like mobil 1)

0w oil will give you no oil pressure at idle in an average 5-10 year old EJ.
DZENCI and bmth like this.

Yeah I used to use Castrol 5w30 then I tried Penrite 5w40 twice and it never seems to last.. needs changing within 2-3k & always finding it disappearing to.... always topping it up. Gonna go for Mobile 1 Next time!
