I have a 97 Jdm sti and use millers nanodrive cfs nt+. Outstanding oil. No burning oil smells, no piston slap on start. Worth the extra money. Use a 10w- 50 grade on that engine

Hi

If the engine is standard/standardish, a 10w-40 will be ideal and the Millers CFS is one of the best. If it's modified, a 10w-50 makes more sense.

Cheers

I would maybe not go as far as piston slap but it is certainly a lot quieter when starting up from cold. I had a shell 5-30 in it for one hundred miles then changed it. I defo noticed the difference so far
