New to a Scooby
Hi All,
After lots of reading on this forum and other sites I decided to take the plunge and have bought a WRX import. For the insurance I got that through Tesco for £830 but needs a tracker and immobiliser which I thought was a good price for being 24.
The car is running quite low on oil and I'm not sure which brand to get from halfords. Do you guys have any ideas?
I am also going to add 3 guages to the car too. Which ones do you recommend me to have?
Any other help and ideas for mods would be great.
Cheers
Paul

The standard oil to use is a 10w40 semi synthetic, people do have different oils in their car such as 15w50 and 10w60 fully synth oils.... bit of a guess whats in there though unless you know where the car was serviced last (and when?)

welcome to scoobynet.
if you use the search facility for your oil request you will find loads of info.
also if you go to halfords,park well away from the store,don't want to many scoobynetters knowing you shop in there.LOL.
