I know it's the age old question, but it never seems to get answer for us normally aspirated folk.

What should I be putting in my MY95 Impreza GL?

Motul 300V 15W40 or Castrol RS 10W60 are usually the recommended options for the turbos, does the same apply for me?

Cheers,

Ben :)

Due to the lower engine temperatures the normally aspirated engines run at, a slightly thinner oil would suit your car better than that normally recommended for turbos.

Mobil 1 0/40, Castrol RS 0/40, or if you want to economise a bit and go for a semi-synth, Mobil Super S 10/40 or Shell Helix Plus 10/40. Something along those lines will be fine. As ever the really important issues are a good quality filter, regular oil changes and good change technique.

Cheers greasemonkey, I'll probably go for some RS then.
Many thanks,
Ben :)
