LUBRICANT ADVICE
 
Im about to carry out a 3rd year service on my 2006 2.5 wrx, it has a td05-20g running close to 400/400, what engine oil would you recomend? should i also upgrade the f&r diff oil for fast road use?? Thanks.

How about the big name brands, is one better than another?

ask oilman on here for advice or go to Opie Oils for engine oil, car oil, motorbike oil, gear oil, motor oil, race oil, brake fluid
