Pete as an insinuation somewhat like marriage and prison I find hard to comprehend that are recommending an oil product that is actually from a branded manufacturer and not something that I would be used to fill the gaps in a flat roof. If anyone cares I have used this oil in my 2002 WRX and it was/is fine.
Tell me Pete, are you on new pills, are you red lining your car, has car been remapped and do you own a baseball cap?

Ive used this oil & few of my other fellow mates, after driving the car the way it should be driven oil was lost. Many people dont recommend this oil including a few mappers ive come across. A 5l bottle of this in halfords is for near enough 20 quid.

I'm running what Subaru recomends I run, without blowing my engine.
Oil is Oil ..... you need to be doing some extreme driving to even consider anything fancy - it's the 6 month Oil changes which protect your engine ... not the price of the Oil!!

pete, you keep filling your car with pish and allow me spend lots more on obviously better oils! £15 = cheap, therefore it cannot be any good, more money = better oil. It must be true of course.

An expensive Oil is expensive because it has a 'percieved' value .... that's all it is.
Real Engineers are not taken in by this, neither are mechanics - we know that the single best thing you can do regarding Oil is NOT to spend silly money on it - but, to change it regularly!
What does an expensive Fully Synthetic Oil offer over a cheaper Oil? Simply that you can go longer between changes .... so, in essense, if you are changing your Oil at 24 months and 25,000 miles ... go for the expensive stuff.
However, if you are changing after 6 months and 6,000 miles - then the 10W-40 Oils at £13 - £15 per 5 Litres are absolutely perfect ........ in fact, they are the same as the expensive Oils over this time frame!!
So, there you have it - from an Engineer and an owner of an Impreza with 99,000 miles on it and still as smooth as the day I bought it brand new 10 years ago .... and it has never seen silly expensive fully sythetic Oil .. it has, however, had an Oil change every 6 months. Hard evidence - if ever you needed some.
Plenty on here with destroyed engines and a history of £50 Oils!!
Go figure!

I have no oil to sell, no axe to grind .... unlike the sellers of very expensive oils!
