I know this will have been asked a lot...which oil
//

I think it depends on how you use you're car, you can not go wrong though with something like Millers or Mobile 1 10w 40 or 10w 50 (in millers) There are loads of different types and makes, think its personal pref...

Standard oil is shell helix 10w40 semi synthetic, if your car isnt drinking the stuff then you may as well stick to this ;)

i use 10w-50 millers or silkolene
|
I used Mobil 1 15/50 ,Silkoline 10/50 and Millers 10/50 on my 4 classics over the last 11 years with no problems,but I did change the oil every 3000 mls.:thumb:

Avoid 50 - it's like treacle ... power sapping drag.
10W-40 Semi is what Subaru recommend ... they know best. Pay £15 for 5 Litres and change the oil every 6 months - you are sorted :thumb: |

Starting to think 10w-40 is the way to go since it is what Subaru reccomend, don't agree about 15 quid oil in a performance car though :freak3:

I use 10W/40 semi as for the make of it that depends on what u want to put in it, like pslewis said to me on here a while ago it's all marketing hype :)

i use motul 300v 15w 50, bit higher temp setting for abuse on tracks, hard driving etc
|
I just use what my engine builder recommended & use (API) ...a 'good' 10w 40 semi, so Mobil Super S every 6 months for me :)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ..... if you believe the marketing hype then pay silly money (£30+ for 4 Litres) - if you have any independant thought patterns whatsoever then you buy quality which costs a fraction of the oils which need to cover their advertising costs!
This is what I have been using for many years - http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-990-fuch...productDetails Not from Opie Oils mind you - £20 is a bit steep ..... you can get it for £15 (5 Litres) if you look. I cannot fault it. And I have owned an Impreza Classic since new for 10 years and 100,000 miles. I am living proof that expensive oils are a con - as the better value oils have performed superbly! |
