*mrbig what filter do you use? Motorcraft?

Wix or subaru.

Thoughts?

You can try searching online for the local distributor and ask them if they sell online. You can also look around local FB groups about the oil and try asking them if they can refer to you an online seller.

Basically, as long as it meets the OEM requirements, then it is fine. As long as you buy them from reputable sellers.

There are other factors to consider aside from the brand of oil:

- Driving habits
- Maintenance of the vehicle
- Fuel quality
- Road/weather/traffic conditions

if you drive less than 5K km a year, i believe ordinary mineral oil will be fine.
no need for special oils.
my opinion.

Is the Petron HTP (High Temp Protection) Fully Synthetic range any good? They have Rev X HTP 5w40 diesel oil (~P450/L) and Blaze Racing HTP 0w40 gasoline engine oil (~P602/L). Their oils are supposedly made from PAO (polyalphaolefin) Grp IV base oil, same as Mobil 1.

as long as it meets your engine requires. no engine spec ever required PAO.
