I am now a proud owner of my first Impreza! A turbo classic with the PPP fitted

As a new owner i need advise on the following

How long should i leave the engine running for before i turn the ignition off?
Also how long should i warm the engine up before pulling off?

Also what oil and coolant do you recommend??


Cheers!

i let it idle for 1 min then drive off(drive off boost for first 10 min).
drive off boost for about 5 min then park up and let it ilde for about 30 secs

oh welcome and enjoy ya car

Oil - do a search you will find plenty to read!!

Let engine idle for 1 minute if you have given her a good work out ... no need to do anything if you have idled the last couple of miles.

Do NOT let the car warm up stationary - allow the OIL to get hot before opening her up (maybe 10 miles in cold winter weather).

Coolant? Well whatever Subaru recommend ... same as the Oil really!

what would scooby do

good advice

Cheers guys.

Is any brand of oil better than others?

Select which Specification you want your Oil to meet (I suggest that the minimum spec be the one stated in your handbook) - if the Oil meets that standard then the name on the front means nothing apart from how much you will be paying.

Like I said, do a search on Oil - it has been done to death and I'm not going to start a new 'What Type Of Oil' here

STi wanna Subaru

so for most journeys there's no point having a 'performance' car.

Ive done some research and found 10W-50 to be recommended for a tuned engine like mine.

Is it safe to use fully synthetic?

Like I said - a search will do wonders for you .................... PLEASE
