Help. Which Oil?
Hi people, I just need some help on choosing which engine oil to use for my06 Impreza WRX.
Making a long journey from Wembley to Reading tommorow and need to top up.
Looking to buy Shell Helix, think it was 10w-40 or 5w-40, can't remember exactly.
Is this ok as just a quick fix, as I'm getting the car serviced (10k service) in a couple of weeks time anyway so just need to top up until then.
If not, could someone recommend an engine oil that is available to buy from say Halfords or a petrol station please.
Thanks.
PS. I don't drive the car that hard, just the occasional heavy right foot, but nothing to major, if this helps.
