Which Oil for WRX
#1
I've read some info on Mobil 1, recommending Motorsport (15/50) as opposed to the 0/40 from Mobil.
Can anyone recommend either of the above for a WRX (not STI), or anything else?
Cheers

Normal Mobil 1 (0w40) is too thin for Scoobies (turbos) and is not recommended. Any fully synthetic oil with the correct rating will be ok. I use Silkolene, but others use Mobil 1 Motorsport.

actually none of the above are recommended by FHI - handbook states quite clearly 10w-30 semi synthetic - if you have any kind of warranty then you might want to consider sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines.
conversely, I have never heard of any oil-related failures and there is certainly nothing wrong with mobil 1 motorsport - wouldn't use it in my car though as I don't believe in giving warranty companies any scope for wriggling out of a claim should this circumstance arise.

Cheers guys - not sure I'll have too much warranty to worry about, since it's an import (WRX).
When I find a dealer, I'll see what they say - I'd feel awkward telling the dealer to use a special oil for me.
