Default hi everyone. This is my first post. A few questions

Just bought a lovely standard 1998 UK turbo 4 Dr. Not had a Scooby for about 15 years now so I have a few questions.

Should I be using higher octane fuel?

What is the best oil to use in the diffs?

Sorry if these questions have been asked often but am a bit of a dinosaur on the internet.

Looks a great forum with
lots of. Knowledgeable people on.

If it's a standard 98 car, it's not been mapped, end of.
