Just woundering which grade of oil to use in the scoob.
Got an MY97 UK Turbo.

Have heard 15/50 is the stuff to use?

Will be using Mobil 1 fully synthetic.

Thanks

 

Good stuff use it in my scoob but you could use millers 5w40 fully synth or magnatex 10w60 fully synth but basically as long as its fully synth and not a 0 rated you should be ok

I've got Tri-Synthetic OW-40, is this okay?

 

After researching Oils a fair bit the best stuff I have found to use has been the Redline or Motul oils they use the best base stocks and are far better at heat disipation and lubrication and also do not break down as easily as other brands (spent an hour on the phone speaking to a biochemist that makes the stuff)

I am running 10w 40 in my car. And the excellent redline Heavy shockproof oil in my gearbox

There was anarticle in the last true grip all about which oil to use which was very good.

0 grade is too thin.

Dont use zero grade anything.....its to thin.
I used 15w50 MOBIL 1(fully stynth)apparently the best,of the best,but still not recomended by subaru europe....why
Anyway its what Im going to use coz its the best,dear a f$$k tho.
Ps MY01 WRX

 

Hey,

Just don't forget if you car has less than 7,500 - 10,000 miles on it then you should be using semi-synthetic and not fully synthetic as your car may not bed in properly.......well this is what the majority says at least

I will be dropping in 20 - 50 SAE semi-sythetic at my 1500 kms service and oil change

Anyone know how big a deal the climate is, for example it is year round hot and very humid here so I figure the 20 - 50 is better than the 15 - 50 since the oil will not be as hard on start up do the hot environment ??

Cheers,
Ray
