Bought a MY98 import just over 6 months ago should have bought one years ago and am going to do a service, i have read many reports of knocking occuring after an oil change. I do have a mechanical knowledge, just was wondering what is the best oil to use and any special procedures i should adopt.

 

use any decent 10/40 semi,

oil change procedure, drain+refill oil, fill oil filter, start the car, drive the car, enjoy the car.

 

Hello mate I've got a 95 WRX running about 320bhp+300lbft and I only use Motul 300V 15W50 the scooby specialist I use got me on it and it hasn't missed a beat on the stuff in 5 years (touch wood!!!) so I'd recommend that lubricant, they also do good diff and gear box oils that I use in my car. Hope this helps you mate. How you finding your car?
Ben.

 

cheers guys, straight forward then. Enjoying the car, just need to seal the underside before our satly roads get at it.
