Motul 5W40 Oil Change Kit EJ WRX/STI vs Mobil 1 Oil Change Kit for Honda CR-V
These kits serve different engines, so the real choice is fitment, not brand loyalty. The Motul kit is built for turbo Subaru EJ cars: five liters of 5W40 X-cess gen2, a genuine Subaru filter and a drain plug crush washer, all matched to the engine. The Mobil 1 bundle is a Honda CR-V-oriented package with 0W-20 oil and an M1-110A filter rated for long intervals. Owners of built or high-boost EJ motors tend to favor the thicker 5W40; stock CR-V owners want the low-viscosity 0W-20 and the long-life filter. Buy the kit that matches your car's spec.
- Choose the Motul kit if you drive a turbo Subaru EJ car, especially a built or high-boost motor that wants a thicker 5W40 and OEM filter hardware.
- Choose the Mobil 1 bundle if you drive a Honda CR-V or another vehicle spec'd for 0W-20 and want a long-interval filter in the box.
