I think l know where you are going Guy, As I have said before, no matter what the book says:- if you put 0W anything in a Subaru turbo, you stand a very good chance of the engine going BANG.

Listen to the voice of experience, that has probably built more Subaru engines than any other company in the UK.

I have used 3 of the big named places and they all used 10w50 or 15w50. RCM use the Fuchs Titan Race 15w50 Pro R. But I have just moved to the Fuchs 10w50 Pro S. Not noticed much cold difference though. Lol.

Does 15w-40 semi synth actually exist?


The only 15w-40 grades I've ever seen have been mineral oils. (although I guess with modern pseudo branding/marketing a mineral oil with added viscosity enchancer = semi synthetic )

Steve,

The 300v is a great oil, what one are you going for? 5w-40, 10w-40 etc?

Cheers

I would be curious to know what brand it is.

All they have to do to call it a semi synthetic is throw in some hydrocracked group III mineral base stock. They can put what ever percentage in they like. So it could be 5% hydrocracked mineral oil and 95% boggo mineral oil = semi synthetic.

Cheers

Guy.
