WHICH OILS TO USE FOR A 95 JAP WRX?
Hi All,
Can anybody suggest the grade and/or the best oils to use for my recently purchased 95 WRX (engine/gearbox/diffs) obviously its a Jap import. It's been in the country for 6 months and the previous owner used Mobil1 engine oil but the gearbox/diffs need changing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Ade |
Engine :- Motul 300v 15w/50 or Castrol RS 10W/60
Gearbox: - Castrol Syntrax. Len. |
You can put Syntrax in the diff as well, it does not need limited slip diff oil since the L/S part of the diff is self contained (viscous).
Semi synthetic 10/40 oil is fine for the car, and cheaper than full synthetic. You can afford to change the oil more often too which is far better. Les |
Thanks both for your help.
It'll have to wait until pay day then I can get the oils changed. Just spent £500 - £600 on a timing belt change with a new tensioner, 3x idlers,a/c & fan belt, spark plugs and a few bits and bobs all from a main dealer. Costing me a arm and a leg at the moment but It'll be worth it in the end. I've wanted one of these cars for years so I want to look after it. Cheers Ade |
I am going to change my gearbox oil also and was wondering how many litres I will need?
