Oil grade for Impreza WRX STI JDM V-limited 2003
Hey guys, I've just bought a WRX STI v-limited that was just exported from Japan. The car came with no owner manual or paperwork so I'm not 100% on what oil grade to use for the 2.0L twinscroll turbo.
The dealer didn't seem to know much about cars at all but said they put 10w60 in to motor in the service just prior to me buying it. Is that a safe grade to use and if not, what grade should I swap it out for? Don't want to mess up my motor a week after ownership.
Cheers!

Millers cfs 10/50 is my choice for my jdm and no compromising with genuine blackfilter /sump washer

oil quality is just as important as the actual grade used but also factor in your driving style / use
in general terms a full synth 5w40 would be ideal for "normal" use and then a 10w50 or possibly 10w60 for something far more aggressive / track style..........
we have various high quality options on the shelf and always at "deal" pricing
