I need to pick up some synthetic oil today for tomorrows service what do people recommend thats easily obtainable cheers |
I'd suggest using the search facility!
Favourites appear to be Mobil 1 Motorsport and/or Motul 300V (IIRC) Lots of dicussion has taken place before, so try 'search' Personally I use Mobil 1 M/S and change it every 5000 kms, but then my conditions are somewhat harsh! |
Oh yeah, check for GreaseMonkeys oil change 'bible' stuff as well. I presented it to the garage that does my work, along with the page from the handbook on the 'peculiar' oil dipstick Subaru felt obliged to produce.
Over-filling can be as bad as under-filling so you ar the mechanic need to know what the different marks mean. Subaru dealers should be familiar with the process, but it doesn't hurt to remind them! |
really bugs me when people tell me how to do my job i dont tell them how to do theirs so dont tell me how to do mine

Scoobyboy,
No disrespect intended, I have one Subaru garage here who sold a grand total of 7 WRX's in a year! Do they know the difference between a GL and a WRX - I doubt it Have I modified my WRX - most certainly Do I trust them - absolutely not Do I pay for the service - Yes I do Am I allowed to request things are done properly - I believe so Due to the lack of knowledge of the Subaru dealer, I have my car serviced at a Porsche performance specialist, who may well not be aware of the specific requirements of a performance Subaru, especially the bizarre dipstick, so I provide the information to ensure no mistakes are made. As I said, no disrespect intended, if I was back in merry Ole England, I would have the opportunity to find a dealer I trust and therefore not have to provide this sort of numpty information! In the earlier question it was not stated that it would be a Subaru dealer/expert who would do the oil change or service. |
