So, you are saying that the Oil Subaru recommends is wrong - or is somehow bad oil??

You are clearly a numptie with zero knowledge .... I can't wait until this pslewis comes back, he sounds like he has his head screwed on!

MrReee

 

Has anyone tried this new halfrauds motorsport oil as i have just bought some while on special its the 5w 50 stuff. this is to go into a recently rebuilt 97 sti type r with mild mods it has been running mobil 1 motorsport but i'm hoping i will gain good peformance with this stuff.

 

50 is like treacle

MrReee

 

So is this no good then

 

Well, what do I know?

I personally use what Subaru tell me to use, which is 10W-40 Semi

50 is very thick, I put that in my Calibra as it was on offer - it stayed in the engine for exactly 30minutes!! The engine was so sluggish .. went back to 10W-30 in that case and the engine returned to its sewing machine sweet revving self

MrReee

 

motul 300v - an excellent oil

 

mobil1 15-40 fully synthetic £39 for 4 litres. but then i have a special machine

 

Get your bum down to Vauxhall

Tell them your a member of one of the big vauxhall clubs and thus a member of the Trade club..

Box of 10w40 semi synth (4 x 5 litires) = less than £20.

And if you buy a crate its even cheaper, but take a trailer!

 

£39 for 4 Litres?

The Impreza needs a bit more than 4 Litres unless you leave the filter in place.

So, the extra 1 Litre costs, what? £13?

Thats £39 + £13 for absolutely no benefit whatsoever? £52!

Buying oil for £15 for 5Litres means, assuming a normal 6 month change, that you could change your oil every 2 months and STILL be better off .. and that is also better for your engine!

Fools and their money ...

MrReee

 

hahahahahahahahahahaha, i bow down to your great knowledge, o sorry ability to read owners handbook. pmsl

lewis sorry mrreeeee, how come your as popular on here as a hernia? (is that to many eeee's by the way?)

 

hang on a mo, i thought subaru were the only ones to listen to about oil and when to service/change oil and here you are admiting its better for your engine to do it more than they recomend?

 

The irony .. the word better was thrown in to show you how totally meaningless it is!

Of course changing the Oil every 2 months is not better than every 6 months (given the 7500miles/6 months limit) .. but I just BET a numptie like you actually thinks it is!

MrReee

 

but you just said it was

 

You really are limited in your supply of brain cells aren't you?

I used it as an example of the uselessness of the word 'Better'

By the way, your spelling in the thread directing people to this thread is terrible!! Try using OUR instead of ARE and you will not come across as someone for whom the Lobotomy failed!

MrReee

 

o well, my spelling may be crap but i was too busy thinking about wether i should take your advice about changing oil more often than recomended.

dont change the subject, you just admited changing the oil in your car more often than recomeneded in the handbook.

 

You write like a 12 year old, are the schools off today?

Sorry about this, but, I draw the line at who I converse with - they need to act at least 30 and have more than one brain-cell.

MrReee

 

pmsl, having to change quotes to try to draw attention away from what you said eh pete, pmsl

please dont tell me your running away pete? after trying so hard to wind me up, come on man, i still need to tripple check with you that you think, as per your post, you should change you oil more often than subaru recomends.

 

I dont know about anybody else ,but MrReee or PSlewis sounds like a right c,,k with the amount s,,t he talks on here. Dont take any notice Tidgy he's just a windup merchant who likes to get up peoples noses on here, just so he can get his post tally up.

 

not getting wound dude, pissing myself laughing at him trying to take back what he said. bet he would fart before he got into his car if the owners handbook told him to pmsl

 

bet he would fart before he got into his car if the owners handbook told him to pmsl

 

Thats if he really owns one, just having the hat and jacket doesn't mean you've got one

 

rafpmsl, has anyone actually seen pslewis's car?

 

going back to the topic, pslewis//mrreee is correct in saying use what grade subaru recommend (flame suit on), however depending on frequency of changes etc this could be fully synthetic of semi. More regular changes and use of the car then use the semi as it is more cost efficient to do so. If the car isnt used much then use fully synthetic (retains its properties for longer)

Also how the car is modified may have an input on oil choice, if the internal components are changed and therefore not standard, then I would take the advice of the engine builder as to what they recommend, as obviously subarus recommendation is on a standard engine.

 

^^^^ to the wallies above jaytc2003's post^^^^ note, this is how to post properly!

Oh, yes, the joke about the fart before getting in my car - that was priceless, probably the best joke I have ever seen - split my spleen!

MrReee

 

my car is only slightly modified, exhaust map and air filter but after seeing what the oil was like after 2.5k miles def thinks its worth changing more regularly than recomended.

 

sounds serious, you'd better get to the hospital quick. just to be on safe side call ambulance and a doctor, we don't want any serious injuries on here please.

 

anyway back on topic, so your saying mrree that changing the oil more often than recomended by subaru is better for your engine?

 

Motul chrono 300v 10w-40, but at 70quid+ it's fecking dear!

I'd say stick with a 10w-40 fully synth, I had previously used castrol 10w-60 but found the engine to be rattley at cold starts.

Now on silkolene pro-s 10w-40 but not happy about it, may spring for the motul and change early next time.

Dave

 

Correct me if im wrong but if you change your oil early you might be wasting your money if you drive like a oap the engine isent stressed at all but if you drive like a demmon redline redline etc it would be fair to say change the oil more often simple with the recommended service intervals as they are chances are the oil will be ok, but who wants to risk it eh. not me

ill be using the full i am in mine, if it goes bang you know there was nowt you could do about it make sure you use a subaru oil filter as this does what it says on the tin filteres the oil .

cheers for the riviting read

mrReee your mad as a ships cat you are good laugh though .
