>>>>>What kind of oil to run on roadrace WRX?

Just wondering what type of oil it recommended to be used on an opentrack/roadrace WRX in a basically stock/production class?

Do you run an extra quart to prevent oil slosh?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

Would running something like Amsoil or Royal Purple oil help anything/at all?

royal purple is great stuff but mobil one is great as well and is gonna save you money over RP. mobile one holds up great on the track.

i concur. RP or Amsoil are fine, but Mobile 1 is more than sufficient and less costly.

I recommend adding a nice oil cooler to your car.

If your engine is still under warranty, I would stick with Mobil 1, which is the only one with the proper certification for your warranty. Otherwise, I'd recommend Red Line 20W50.
