...I was doing research and what I found out is that 75w90NS is the best...It is even mentioned a couple of times in ClubWRX.net......maybe I should've researched my engine first......

look forward to ATLEAST $1000 worth of work and it'll probably be much higher.
...well, there is this guy selling a Civic H22 Turbo for $5,200...which was 400+ to the wheel...and thats faster than my suby...but I can't buy something that slower, especially a stock civic...I'd rather die along with me suby......

i spun like 3 bearings on my prelude a few years ago and it wasnt a cheap fix.a brand new H22 block cost me $2600 just for the bottom end. WRXBDBY just had his done last year too,same problem spun bearing. so he got the 2.5block. big difference.
...yea, I might as well get a 2.5 block...any other parts he had to buy along with it??...

For the oil experts, wouldnt the 75w mean that it would be tested at a cold starting temp of like 45 degrees? unlike a 5w or 10w would be around -20 to -30? so, isnt he basically putting in an oil that is just to high in starting temp and too thick? He would want a lower viscosity number (like 30 or 40, instead of 90) to help everything in the motor function with less friction with movable motor parts? I havent really studied oil enough to exactly know what it will do, but, what it sounds like is that when the temps got into the 40's around here, he cold-started the car and the oil was way to thick which had cause the motor to start and seize up.
All in all man, you need to start saving up for a new one. If you plan on sti motor, be ready to shell out some money. Call around and start getting prices with install. Good luck man. Next time, just look at the owners manual and it will tell you which oil to use.
...crap it is a tranny oil...my friends stupid dad mechanic said it was freaking fine......it'll probably be a new STi motor...or that H22 Turbo Civic...or sell/trade my suby and use the money for a down payment to get another subaru......I was misledded into putting the wrong oil and now I'm facing the consequences......I should've asked you guys but back then I didn't know about tr...
