quick question? which brand do you prefer? I used Motul ExCess exclusively for my WRX changed every 5k miles...but because the BRZ is NA I'll be going to a 6k mile cycle, and would appreciate any input on brand exclusivity? my tuner highly recommended the Motul brand (with the WRX) so I went with that,
along with an oil analysis every oil change (each sample indicated minimal wear @ the motor all the way up to 155k miles...I didn't beat on it, but I did drive hard on occasion and pushed the vehicle through some paces). thanks in advance

I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 based on other reviews from people asking about oil for these cars. The Motul is fine as well. I heard that Costco oil aint bad, either! I think the important thing is to change the oil on a regular basis. I do it every 6 months, since I don't drive much.
