Help with oil confusion
Want to change oil & filter next week. It's the first one I've done since I got the car. My confusion is what oil to use, the book says 10W30 / 10W40 for the temps we get in this country. But some on here are using different such as 10W50. I've always gone with what the book says but people are using different, I'm a bit confused

For your car a fully synthetic is the one to go for. The sti engine is in quite a high state of tune even in standard form. Fully synthetic oil will give more protection and operate effectively at higher engine temps.
