just a quikie.been reading the recent threads and 5/40 or 10/40 oil seems to be popular.however,halfords flip book states factory recommended oil is semi-synthetic although im thinking of using mobil 1 fully synthetic as my mate uses it every time and seems to like it.is this any good for bug-eyes?also any benefit over a sti filter and standard factory filter,i mean is it worth the extra expense??cheers peeps

 

i have used 10/40 semi and standard filter for over 10 years with no problem no need to buy the more expensive parts just change the oil and filter around 3000 miles.

 

The 10w-40 semi synthetic is the minimum you can use on the car, anything up from there quality wise is a good thing and down to the owner.

We find many go for 5w-40 or 10w-50/15w-50 synthetics.

thanks guys.when it comes to oil i change it twice a year regardless of mileage.i know it sounds like a waste o money but for my own peice o mind its worth every penny.



ps just read your archive thread.i think youve covered mine and about every other oil question on here lol

 

You can never change an oil too often

 

2nd that

In fact, its in tomorrow for an oil change.
MY07 RB320 - Mobil 5w40 synthetic.

 

you like the mobile iggy? ive bought some tnite and got a free umbrella woohoo

 

i like to change mine every 3 months or so, cars much better with new oil. for the cost involved its not really a problem.

 

my06 ppp silver that's just being paranoid

 

................

 

I use Millers 10-60 fully synthetic, gets the thumbs up from me!!

 

who says main dealers arnt any good.just bought the oil filter and in return i got washer,20 subaru balloons,shiny key ring,subaru brochure,and a set of mug coasters.all for free.
note:it helps to take your 4yr old daughter with you and spend ages eyeing up the spanking new rally blue sti mmmm.might change my oil even more often now!!!

 

Nice one...................beats selling cars I guess

Cheers
