So has anybody actually got/seen a data sheet on this car lube stuff?
Im not so sure on the argument of extended drain intervals from synthetics, sure the good ones are shown to resist oxidation and stay in grade for longer, but its likely the additive pack will be depleated in a similar time to other oils.
Isn't it generally shown that the subaru boxer engine (standard) isn't hard on its oil anyway, so a good turbo formulated oil should provide adequete protection.
Has anybody actually had/seen a case where an oil was proved to be the cause of engine failure?

Then why the f%ck are you posting on here????
I just laugh in my chair, everytime I read one of your posts. You KNEW what to expect when you asked about CarLube. Not one person has recommended it for your turbo.
You obviously, just fancied an a rant at, basically, every user of scoobynet. Some one could show you a black kettle, and you'd argue that it was 'off white'!

I thought you were amusing at first.... but now I realise, after looking at the number times you have posted, that you are a sad little man with nothing better to do than picking fights with people that you will never meet.
Stop being childish Mr Lewis.

With the greatest of respect Pete, and speaking as one of the few people here who gives you a go; youre really making a **** of yourself here.

Btw; it would be an extremely naive mistake to accept that ANY oil thats states that it is "Synthetic" is good enough for a car producing in excess of 100BHP per litre (cheap 'synthetic' oils are lightly modified mineral oil at best; ****e with a small percentage of modified mineral at worst). If you think that this 'CarLube' oil is in any way equal to an ester synthetic like Mobil 1 then youre a fool.

Car Lube would probably sooth your 'Farmer Giles' though Pete..!

Lewis was the guy that tried to tell me I'd made a mistake spending £16K on a brand new MY00 when I could have spent £21K like him. Nuff said.

pslewis

Oh, I do apologise .... I didn't realise it was a PROPER UK IMPREZA??? If, as I remember, it was a tacky Import, then YES - you were stitched up!!

Pound to a penny he doesn't own a Subaru. Wouldn't say the things he does if he did.

Pete, why are you arguing about the benefits of a product you've never tried? Try it ( in your lawnmower, or something else you really own ) then come on and slate all the other brands as being a waste of money. You're the only bloke on here who'll regularly ask for advice, then argue with the people who give it......as if you know better. You know less than nothing, and reinforce that with every post. Pure comedy for those of us who see right through it.

Your ignorance is a fantastic spectator sport, that, and your tenuous grasp of English keep reminding me how intelligent I really am. I'm sure many others enjoy the spectacle of you willingly offering yourself up for ridicule as frequently as you do.

Let's have your next monosyllabic offering then! Need another cheap laugh.


Btw, we have one thing in common now. I won't spoil the surprise, I'll let you figure it out, something else to laugh at you about.

pslewis

Fooooooooooook Off!!

It's called 'challenging' the advice, you lilly livered weasel!!

By all means, lets meet, you can call me childish - I'll make you pee your nappy

After you.....

micared

Er no, idiot, if he bought a U.K. spec car, he got exactly what you got, but for 5k less.....and even the dealer values them the same after 3 years. You were the one who got stitched up. You'll lose a lot more than him. Or you would if you owned one in the first place, of course.

Keep imagining you know what you're talking about. I'm sure that if you involve yourself in enough subjects you'll stumble across something you can contribute to eventually.

Ooooh, get you, keyboard warrior. Wanna meet and give me a slap?

pslewis

At the end of the day, a lot of utter tripe is posted on here branded as "Advice".

Sometimes by those who will profit, sometimes by those who wish to raise their profile and image - as they suffer a lowly job in the real world, sometimes by those who are just repeating what they 'heard' or 'read' on the internet!

A Quality Oil, like Shell Ultra will NOT destroy your engine just because it isn't Ester/Hydrocrapped/Mineral/Semi/Full ... whatever and neither will CarLube destroy it!!

Pete

pslewis

You fancy a piece of me do you??

Sorry, I just couldn't stop laughing ..... anyone who thinks its cool to drive and own a PINK car isn't going to worry me too much

Pete

The old chuff has a point there. There is SO much bollocks talked on t'internet by people who dont know their ***** from their elbows...

Simon -vainly attempting to raise my profile-

micared

How do you know? You haven't tried Carlube. And nobody has said that Shell Ultra will destroy an engine. What the hell are you going on about?

micared

This pink car thing's an obsession with you, you just can't stop talking about it....maybe you should get one.

Did you really just say "You fancy a piece of me do you"?

Jesus!

pslewis

I see ..... so those who haven't tried CarLube can post that the enigine will be destroyed if it is used ..

BUT,

You do not allow me to state that it will not destroy the Engine, just because I haven't tried it??

You foooookin' idiot!

Er, no, Mr Lewis.

You asked if Carlube was ok to put in your impreza. Honestly, I don't know, never tried the stuff. But, I have tried Mobil 1 15w50 in my scoob, every 3k for 20,000 miles, in an sti 4, not re-mapped, and have had NO engine probs what so ever. That is my proof, take it or leave it.
Would I try carlube in my scoob? NO! Why change?

I have NO problems with you using shell helix, (which isn't cheap by the way!) as I would take an educated guess that Shell, spends a lot more money on R&D than Carlube.

pslewis

Redline says that 15W-50 is way too thick an oil for cars in the UK ..... I think you may be doing more damage than you think!

10W-40 is what Subaru state isn't it?? Why not take their advice??

Why were subaru asking for £1000 for an extra year of warrenty cover?? Anything to do with the way they have been servicing your scoob?? Think about it!

Like all things in life.
You pays your money, you takes your choice.
Live with it.
We're all, I assume, grownups.

micared

Think you're being the idiot here....I haven't tried Carlube, but I don't see where I said it would or wouldn't destroy your engine. Try reading the post you're criticising before you jump in, moron. Also don't see where I've said I don't allow you to state anything.

Btw, what's an " enigine "?

Figured out why Subaru want so much money to extend your warranty yet? Stop making a tit of yourself and sod off.

Plums!

Always used Mobil 1 or Castrol RS myself.....

Except one time I used a cheaper so called Syn oil can looked good and the oil specs matched the highest SJ

The cheaper Syn oil was possibly just as good but doubt set in and I was too scared to cane the car ... so ended up changing back to Castrol after only 200 miles....

Dumb I know but peace of mind is a beautiful thing!

Plums.

pslewis

Lets put this warranty issue to bed right now ...........

Subaru want £1233 for another 12 months, yes, but lets just think about what that means shall we??

It could mean:-

1. The Subaru Engines have EXPENSIVE problems in their 6th year - possible, but this is unlikely isn't it now? ..... we would have heard about them, and I mean on Top Gear etc. NOT the few thrashed examples on here!

2. Subaru want to increase their profits - maybe, but they are losing lots of customers.

3. Subaru want to abandon their customers after 6 years - could be, but the future loss of customers would make this a stupid move.

4. Subaru are trying to encourage you to sell your 5 year old car and by a new Subaru - a likely contender this, its Subaru's fault for building long lasting cars in the first place

5. Owners are modifying their cars, thrashing them, and then something amazingly goes BANG!! (why do these people appear shocked?? ) .... anyway, they revert the cars back to standard and claim!! driving the costs for us sensible owners through the roof!! selfish gits!!

So, take your pick ....................

Or ignore sense and continue to try to scare people

I amazed nobody has asked which is better:
The SUBARU reccomended oil (used by most dealers) such as:

Magnatec or Helix SEMI-SYNTHETIC

Vs

Carlube FULLY SYNTHETIC

logic goes that full synthetic is better than semi-synthetic, so which is better? ...


Of course, I could do what everybody else has done so far and look soley at the brand and say thats ****e, Just like Levi jeans are better than Wranglers
