Can i use rotella t6 in my wrx

Honda OEM oil filters are a direct fit on these as well haha. I had a whole box laying around and they look exactly the same as a OEM subaru filter and gave it a try.

I think there are some Mazda RX8 filters that are the same size, have the same bypass pressure and are made by Tokyo Roki as well though.

Here are a few additional thoughts though. I don't think the reason why rotella does so well in turbo subies is because of the extra ZDDP. I think the main reason rotella does so well is because it has a fairly high HTHS value.

Shell does not publish the HTHS number for rotella t6 5w, but based off some of the certifications it meets, it is thought to be at least 3.

So what is HTHS? HTHS is sort of like the film thickness of the oil on moving parts. Note that 5w and 0w oils will generally have a higher HTHS value than a 5w or 0w oil.

Rotella T6 5w — Suspected at least 3. Mobil 1 5w — 3. Mobil 1 10w — 3. Mobil 1 0w — 3. Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w — 3. Castrol Edge 5w — At least 3. Amsoil XL and OE 5w — 3. Amsoil European car formula 5w — 3.

Amsoil European car forumula 5w — 3. Red Line 5w — 3. Red Line 5w — 4. When I look at the list above, there is probably a difference of at least. I was very active on bitog from During that time, two things were very popular, high molybdenum oils and German Castrol. The funny thing is, German Castrol had 0 ppm of molybdenum in it. So what I'm trying to say is, there are many different ways to formulate a quality oil.
