1999 wrx sti prodrive 300+ bhp

No such car, is it a version 5 STI or a version 6 STI or a P1?

All the above oils get the thumbs down, try going for motul/millers 5w40 or a 10w40 fully synthetic, 0w oils are a :nono: in scoobs.

Tony:)

A 10w-50 is ideal for your car if it's driven hard and these are the ones that we stock.

Question for Oilman

Why does it say in the Gulf Competion data sheet

"While these oils are excellent for motorsport use, they are not recommended for use in road cars if the car or its engine is still under the original manufacturers’ warranty."

Ta

I use 10w 60 fella

Marketing mainly, to make it look more racy. The Gulf Competition I believe exceeds API SL/CF and ACEA A3/A4 due to the additive pack used, they just dont put it on the can.

If you wanted an oil that meets specs they would push you onto their normal range.

Millers recommend CFS 10W 60 ;)

Yet subaru dont and they developed the engine ;)

Tony:)

Thanks, I'll be buying that then next time :) Currently using Fuchs Titan 5w40

But they also have to publish fuel consumption figures...which I'd say influences their choice somewhat! ;)

Looks to me Millers also recommend 5w-30 and 5w-40. I am suprised they have chosen a 10w-60 from their CFS range, in just about all cases I would suspect they have more suited grades.

I will contact them and see what their reasons are.

Good price that mate :thumb:

i use gulf competition in mine from oilman & seems the best oil i have ever put in any of my cars, even on start up from cold, engine is quiet as a mouse.

The Gulf is very good and a bargain

Mine is a slighty tuned hawk 07 WRX (290 bhp) and I rang Millers technical and they said they only recommend 10W 60 if you are going to be doing track days but for normal road / some fast driving they told me to use 10W 50

Just had a look at what millers go for on the classic for oil, on a UK car they recommend a 5w30 (subaru clearly states this oil is NOT suitable for every day use on this vehicle and put a big warning against it in their manual), a 5w40 and a 10w40, plus they state only 4 ltrs (needs 4.5).

Would stick with the handbook recommendations tbh, subaru changed what their engines were good for with the new age, classics need different oils (ie you can use a 5w30 on a new age but not a classic).

Tony:)

What would you use Tony for a hawk wrx? Is a 10 50 okay?

Millers 10w-50 for me. Banny is selling some brand new 5L tubes in the for sale section, I have just had one of him.

A 5w40, 10w40 or 10w50 would all be suitable (fully synthetic of course ;)) standard oil you may well find that is used is shell helix 10w40 semi synthetic (no real issues with this either, just keep the changes regular)

Tony:)

Gulf Competition, very good, and priced well at Opie Oils, good delivery too

Sorry my mistake it's not wrx just prodrive

What about Castrol Edge? Being told that's setting the pace amongst those "in the know"?


Oh and lol at pole. Warsaw? :lol1:

# return of the Mac... # ;)

It's good stuff, but there is better for an Impreza. The only ester based Edge is the Edge 10w-60 for BMW M-Series and that's too thick for an Impreza. The other Edge oils are just good synthetics, but quite expensive and not as good as other oils, such as the Gulf Competition, Millers CFS and Fuchs Pro S that cost about the same.

1st chice - Fuchs Titan Pro S 10W-50
2nd choice - Millers CFS 10W-50

If it were me, that is.

I run Fuchs Pro S 10/50 myself, chiefly because Powerstation have always recommended it. Given it's a road car though, i doubt i stretch the engine hard enough for the oil to make much difference at all once you're into premium brands.
