I know this has probably been brought up a million times, but search is still down so, research seems to indicate that Castrol RS 10W/60 or Motul 300V 15w/50 are the oils of choice (is there an easier to get hold of alternative?) but what oil filter do I use for a 93WRX? Is it the same as an early UK turbo?

Cheers

I've got a 93WRX and because I sometimes get problems buying from main dealers I just fit.........dare I say it............Halfords ones. Also they sell an alternative make which I think I got last time. No problems yet.

I use Mobil 1 Motorsport....engine always sounds lovely after a change with that stuff and it's apparently a safe/good oil to use in turbo machines. Power Engineering recommend it (dunno if that's a good bad thing though) and others.....

Cheers

Is the Mobil 1 Motorsport the 15W/50 viscosity? If so, this oil is fine to use. Scooby engines should not have the 0W based oils in them cos they are too thin for our engines.

Cheers,

Wrexy.

Use ANY oil with a rating of 10W40 or above, and ONLY use an OE filter. For the sack of pennies.
