New car!....advise needed
I am now a proud owner of my first Impreza! A turbo classic with the PPP fitted
As a new owner i need advise on the following How long should i leave the engine running for before i turn the ignition off? Also how long should i warm the engine up before pulling off? Also what oil and coolant do you recommend?? Cheers!:thumb: |
i let it idle for 1 min then drive off(drive off boost for first 10 min).
drive off boost for about 5 min then park up and let it ilde for about 30 secs:thumb: oh welcome and enjoy ya car |
Oil - do a search you will find plenty to read!! :lol1:
Let engine idle for 1 minute if you have given her a good work out ... no need to do anything if you have idled the last couple of miles. Do NOT let the car warm up stationary - allow the OIL to get hot before opening her up (maybe 10 miles in cold winter weather). Coolant? Well whatever Subaru recommend ... same as the Oil really! :thumb: |
good advice :D
|
Cheers guys.
Is any brand of oil better than others? |
Select which Specification you want your Oil to meet (I suggest that the minimum spec be the one stated in your handbook) - if the Oil meets that standard then the name on the front means nothing apart from how much you will be paying.
Like I said, do a search on Oil - it has been done to death and I'm not going to start a new 'What Type Of Oil' here ;) |

Ive done some research and found 10W-50 to be recommended for a tuned engine like mine.
Is it safe to use fully synthetic? |
Like I said - a search will do wonders for you .................... PLEASE
