Default not really

Hi scooby 123 ,the oil you refer to can be used if your just pottering around,, but you will find a lot of scooby owners use fully synthetic ! for example mobil 1 15w 40 ,do a search on oil and take a look......

I would recommend a good quality fully synthetic such as Millers, Motol 300V or Silkolene ProS over a mineral oil with high ester content like Magnatex. Has your imported WRX STi been remapped for UK fuel ? If not, you'd better get it done sooner rather than after the £4k engine rebuild Most Jap imports run on SUL/'max plus OB to try and match the 100RON Jap fuel, but ultimately you need to remap the engine to use our 98RON, loosing some power, but gaining not having to rebuild. I'd also consider fitting a Knocklink to keep an eye on the potential failure waiting to happen.

Mobil1 fully synthetic 15w50.

Nothing else decent available in my neck of the woods on a Sunday morning.

Only used Silkolene and Mobil previously.
