hey guys wat oil grade is recommended for my 97 stil import? Cheers

 

Millers cfs 10w60

Banny

 

what does that 60 bit mean? as ive used the same oil but 10w40

 

It means that when the oil is hot the oil pressure will be too high so the pressure relief bypass opens and returns the oil flow to the sump instead of pushing the oil flow to the bearings that need cooling/lubricating.

Sorry I forgot the link, posted in a hurry

 

you missing a link? and also is the 60 better then in future?

 

oil grade mate, 60 = high temperature viscosity

 

Added link to my original post, sorry about the delay. Was in a hurry and got interrupted.

 

I use silkolene pro S 10w50, scoobynet members get 10% off at opie oils - and occasionally special offers. Was a further 15% off till the 26th November which meant I got 20l of it for £136 + delivery which works out at £34 for 5 litres - a bargain for such good oil.

Defo not worth scrimping on oil, if you think about the amount of money you spend on petrol over the life of the oil and compare it to the £20 difference between good oil and not so good oil its a no brainer. Can recommend opie - used them 3 times now and service is always flawless.

 

Another bump for OPIE oils, used them in the past for pro s and they were excellent. I've got millers CFS 10w 60 in at the moment but I'm gonna go back to pro s 10w 50 at the next change. I know this sounds stupid but the car just felt smoother.

 

On scoobies, it's the *w figure that you have to worry about. Don't go lower than a 10 as it is too thin. I always used mobil 1 15w50.

 

I use Motul 15w50 in mine

 

used it in mine for last 9 month no probs as yet...
anyway if its good for banny.....that will do me
bye the way nice car..........

 

the specialist who works on mine car always puts 10w 40 in,and he is 1 of the 3 top subaru technicians in the uk,take it for what its worth mate

 

if its good for Subaru.....that will do me


Think 10W30 may be a bit too thin tho LOL

 

Ha ha but the same technician put millers cfs 10w 60 in mine

Well it wasn't me so I'll have a word with the other 2
