I need to pick up some synthetic oil today for tomorrows service
what do people recommend thats easily obtainable
cheers

 

I'd suggest using the search facility!

Favourites appear to be Mobil 1 Motorsport and/or Motul 300V (IIRC)

Lots of dicussion has taken place before, so try 'search'

Personally I use Mobil 1 M/S and change it every 5000 kms, but then my conditions are somewhat harsh!

 

Oh yeah, check for GreaseMonkeys oil change 'bible' stuff as well. I presented it to the garage that does my work, along with the page from the handbook on the 'peculiar' oil dipstick Subaru felt obliged to produce.

Over-filling can be as bad as under-filling so you ar the mechanic need to know what the different marks mean.

Subaru dealers should be familiar with the process, but it doesn't hurt to remind them!

 

really bugs me when people tell me how to do my job i dont tell them how to do theirs so dont tell me how to do mine

 

Scoobyboy,

No disrespect intended, I have one Subaru garage here who sold a grand total of 7 WRX's in a year!

Do they know the difference between a GL and a WRX - I doubt it
Have I modified my WRX - most certainly
Do I trust them - absolutely not
Do I pay for the service - Yes I do
Am I allowed to request things are done properly - I believe so

Due to the lack of knowledge of the Subaru dealer, I have my car serviced at a Porsche performance specialist, who may well not be aware of the specific requirements of a performance Subaru, especially the bizarre dipstick, so I provide the information to ensure no mistakes are made.

As I said, no disrespect intended, if I was back in merry Ole England, I would have the opportunity to find a dealer I trust and therefore not have to provide this sort of numpty information!

In the earlier question it was not stated that it would be a Subaru dealer/expert who would do the oil change or service.
