I use 15w50, dont use the 5w30, the 30 rating is for extreme temps only, not for normal use, your best off with the 10w40 or whatever the dealer put in at the last service.

well pete, wrong again, STi use Motul 300v 15w50 and 5w40 under their own name and sell it as a recommended oil, so no its not too thick for use in a performance car.Tony
