What oil to use
I've got a 94 RA.
I'm doing an oil change on it in the morning.
According to the auto supplies shop their book shows 10w40 for the Subaru Impreza, so they sold me 5 litres of it.
Is this going to be ok for my car?
It does'nt run hot.
Cheers

Buy some "very cool" sounding named oil from the oilman on here, I'm sure he won't make TOO much money out of you! lol.....
Or do the Sane thing and go down to your motor factors and buy some 10-15W oil for 1/4 the price!, Good job i'm a big boy coz i'm gonna get jumped on now! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just my opinion. I found the car to be a bit rattley cold starting with the castrol, it's cured with the silkolene. On the other hand I will prob use motul next time
. Can get motul chrono 10w-40, but at £70 for 6litres it's on the steep side
