anybody have any recommendations on what type of oil/filter to use on a '92 SS? i'm guessing prolly stepping up a weight from n/a correct?

Depends on a lot of things.

Tell me more about how you drive your car and how old it is, and whether it burns/leaks oil or not. I can give you a semi-educated piece of advice on what oil to run based on that.

As for filters? Either Mobil 1 or Purolator PureONE, match up the part number at your parts store.

kinda, i run royal purple 10W30. and a regular oil filter, like a oem one from subaru.

i drive my car like its meant to be driven lol but seriously i rarely beat on it.. i like to have fun obv but i'll never redline it.. it's a '92 SS with around 142k on it, does not burn/leak ANY oil whatsoever

Hm, depending on your climate I'd toss in Castrol Syntec 5W30 or 10W30 depending on your climate. If you were NA I'd say GTX but a little synthetic doesn't hurt.

Just don't waste your money on "racing" brands... the gains are minimal at best, and only show during extended service intervals - ones that outlast the filter's life.

I just use conventional GTX 5-30 or 10-30 depending on the weather. I don't run the car hard, and it's not my DD.
I ran 10-40 and even diesel weight 15-30 in my 95 N/A to reduce the Lifter ticking.

*Cough* Amsoil/Royal Purple *Cough cough*

Anyone know what the Subaru PN for an EJ22 oil filter is?

i thought it was 1337 or a combination equivalent,

that's on the napa gold one though
