Depends what engine it is but a nice semi synthetic 10w40 for a couple of thousand miles then change again to a nice 5w40 fully synthetic would be my choice

It's WRX 280bhp standard
But with a few trick bits thrown in for good measure.

There you go, above is a link to a thread started by Opie Oils so that any oil questions can be put to the experts who deal with these questions all the time.

I've even asked questions on there myself but before doing so I read the other questions and answers thoroughly before I asked myself.

As for your attempts to insult me why don't you grow up and realise that on a PUBLIC forum anyone has the right to post, if you don't like others posts just ignore them and move on.

Rest assured unless you give me reason to post up again I will not do so.

Fuchs Titan Pro S is supposed to b very good, all the regarded EVO tuners use it.
Used to use Castrol RS (rename to Edge Sport) in my subaru's, Opie oils recons that is a good oil but he recons the Fuchs is better.
