Oil???????
This is probably a much repeated thread.
I have got an STi8 ppp 04 reg and I want to get some top up oil. Recommended oil is 5W 30. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what would be the best choice. |
Has it had it's first service (1000mls)? If not, 5/30 is probably what it's got at the moment. If the first service has been done it's probably got something like Castrol Magnatec 10/40 or Shell Helix 10/40 (both semi-synthetic) depending on what the dealer uses.

Yes it has had it's first service (getting close to it's 2nd one) I had been told that Magnatec 5/30 was not a bad choice, so I'm quite glad to see that one come up. Thanks for your your advice mate. :) Steve

Stay away from 5/30 from now on. If you're going to use Magnetec, use the 10/40 grade. JohnD |
Hi John
Will do. Because I'm fairly new to all this, what are the reasons for going for the 10/40 over the 5/30? Steve |
Have a read of this thread:
