Oil
Hey
I have a 2002 bugeye wrx with a remap to 290 bhp, she is currently running Millers 10w60 CFS oil but I have been told that this is a bit too thick for the engine and to try 10w40 for normal use or 10w50 for high rev range.
So will be looking at 10w40 - but as I start my car in the mornings when its very cold outside I have also been told to consider using a 5w40 - would people on here agree?
Also what are peoples prefered brands ? does the scooby engine react well to different oils ? At the moment it has Millers CFS which is approx #50 for 5 litres.
Cheers for the help in advance

w40 is far better for your car than that goo of a 60 weight oil, especially with winter (i run a 5w40 all year round with more power than your car is pushing), 60 is too thick for 95% of scoobs, only those running serious power that produce serious heat need use it, and even then a 50 weight would suffice.
Stick with either a 5 or 10 cold weight.
