WRX engine Oil
Hi I have a completely standard 53 plate wrx whose engine oil needs topping up. What should I put in it as I have not needed to do this before?
Thanks, P. |
Standard oil Subaru dealer uses was Shell semi-synthetic if i remember rightly.
That is what i was using in my MY03 WRX before i had it modded. Shell Helix Plus it was. |
Are there any warranty implications if you put in oil that isnt supplied by a dealership?
What might i be able to buy from the local petrol station that I could put in today? |
How could they ever tell what oil you put in :confused:
You can get Shell oil from most Shell petrol stations :) Richard |
Thanks for that =)

Actually semi and fully do mix however what's the point, you're defeating the object of using a fully if you mix it.

Still looks like oil doesn't it? - You try telling the 2 different oils apart now ;) Did you think that they would curdle, or one would sit on top of the other? :cuckoo: :D:D:D |
ok maybe not worded very well
but if there was a warranty claim they could find out if you had been mixing oils just by the smell and taste |
As long as you use an approved viscosity and the correct spec then there's nothing that they can say.
