This was just posted on another forum. I would personally try to use a good synthetic 5w20, or PYB/QS based on PQIA's testing. Your higher quality synthetics will have lower volatility and that may help lower your oil consumption.

Mobil 1 0w20 is a good 40-50% PAO based on the Japanese MSDS. Amsoil 5w20/0w20 probably contain even more than that. (not that PAO is the end all of base oils. Many high end III's are on par) PU is around 5% I believe. (GTL) Significantly lower than the average oils posted in the link above.

Disappointed in NextGen. Not a good showing for them. Yikes.

SOPUS FTW! There really isn't a Forester that specs 5W-20 conventional, but the NOACK on Shell oils is amazing (as are the Pennzoil Ultra synthetics).

In another thread, someone mentioned recycled oil being cheap junk and I basically said they were crazy. I guess I'm eating crow now. Hopefully, this was just a fluke.

I'm not surprised. No matter what they say they do to refine the oil, its still kinda hard to have faith in it when half of it is recycled (used). This advisory just proves what I have heard mechanics say.
