Well I've been using Valvoline 10W-30 Full synthetic and Mobil1 oil filter for about 2 changes now and I've noticed much better filtration from the filter but I'm not convinced that the oil is doing its job.
While getting oil for a change I decided to go with Mobil1 oil and filter, I'm hoping things run smoother and my oil doesn't burn as quickly (mind you it's been very very hot here the past few weeks). Is anyone else using both Mobil1 filter and oil? how has it been working out for you? --------------------  Power in Balance 90 ST coupe- Sold 95 ST hatch- Dead :’( 02 Impreza RS- DD |

The 7afe is indeed known to burn oil
Mine used around 1L of 15w-40 castrol every 250 miles @130.000miles. I've even heard people saying their 7afe was using 1L every 600 miles after having put only 80.000miles on the engine. My engine is currently being refurbished including oversized pistons since the cylinder walls were damaged. I've spent quite some money on oil and probable fixes, so my advice would be to either sell, rebuild or swap. |
