Shell Helix Ultra AG 5w 30 - fully synthetic.

This is what a main dealer sold to me for my 07/07 Hawk anyways, (top up pack)
WRX STi Spec D

I had an 04/54 WRX STi UK blob 5 years ago, and it was the same oil if I recall.

As above.
The latest 'nanotech' range of Millers CFS does not list 10/40 but the normal CFS range is as good as pretty well anything available.

Another vote for Millers - 10w40 if you do lots of short journeys or a 10w50 if it runs up to temperature on most of the runs, and by temp I mean oil up to temp and not just the water

Yup, i also took advantage out of that deal

I've always used Fuch Titan and just had an engine re-build. I was told my bores, bearing and crank were in excellent condition.
Re-build due to going forged, nothing to do with any oil related issues.

I usually find that Demonoils give the best prices along with excellent service

Thanks for the heads up. Always good to have other suppliers to compare prices.
