There are several oils you can use, i use a 15w50 fully synthetic oil in my scoob, subaru put a 10w40 semi synthetic in the cars normally.
As for the knocklink, it picks up noise off the engine to see if there is a problem with det, you shouldnt see more than the second green light going, amber is still ok, just take heed of it (ie foot of fast pedal), red is a no no.

CockLinks are for Rally Driver Wannabeeees ... makes them look good to their chav mates and the teens at the local MacDonalds!!

Oil, look in the Owners manual and do what it says in there!!

Get a re-map from Andy Forrest .... he's your man - £200 and you're sorted!

Oil, get the thickest you possibly can ... I would recommend 25W-80 - very rare, but - I have 5 litres sitting right here beside me. It has lost its label but it is top stuff - normally retails at £79:99 for 4 litres - YOU can have it for £59:99 and it's a special offer 5 litre carton!!

And yes, cocklinks make you a rally wannabeee chav - sorry about that!

Please yourself, but buying Oil cheaper than £39:99 for 4 litres is going to blow your engine up ........... it is WELL documented on here, do a search!!
