Cool

Motul 15/50
Castrol 10/60
Mobil 1 15/50 are the most popular ones.

A tad on the thin side, I would have thought, unless you live in Siberia... Unless it's a "running in" oil. How many miles has the car done?

The oils S.B. has listed seem to be the most popular. I use Motul.

Do Not put 0W or 5W anything in any Subaru turbo you will break the engine. 10W is the lowest you dare go. This subject has come up many times and I cannot stress the importance of it.

l'll be happy for you to be my customer, which you surely will sooner or later on zero or five W.

Good luck, hope you're listening.
