Hi all.

On my Subaru 2001 bug, on the service history it say oil is helix+, what is this? Semi/full/grade?

I recently upgraded to cat back decatted exhaust and mapped by dunc running g just over 260 bhp.

Oil is due in July, what oil should I look at or stick with helix+???

Is it 5/30 grade at the dealer and is it semi or full?

Thanks in advance!!!

 

Shell helix is semi i believe

 

My local dealer uses Castrol magnatec 5/30

 

Searching shell helix can be semi or full? Ultra is full so is plus semi?

Also does anyone know what grade it is recommended by Subaru and used and does it change dealer to dealer?

 

The book states 5/30 iirc but I replaced mine with 5/40 helix ultra (fully synth)

 

This oil is NOT recommended for Subarus.

 

From a personal perspective i wouldnt use a 30 weight. 40 for a road car and maybe 50 on a track car. I use 40 for both and never see overly high temps
