been using shell rotella T-6 in 5w40 since 2010 (carried over from when I had a subie sti). Also super cheap - amazon has 1 gallon for $22. Walmart i got 2.5 gallons on sale for $42 when it was on sale.

My oil analysis history. I do have Ti wear from super tech valve springs/retainers. I've since switched back to OEM AP2 retainers/bases with Toda valve springs (OEM was on back order). Will follow up with oil analysis after my next two track days. I have around 80 track days on this motor now. Everything else looks good. The last sample on this report had 5 track days on it.
