Well... tbh I dont know what to make of this thread since a few people seems to be biased from what they use so I wonder how viable the info here in is...

Bottom line.... I am looking for some knowledge in regards to what oil to use based on that I have a 94 wagon that will never see a track day whilst in my ownership and I am looking to have oil changes on it every 6 months regardless.

I see some people recommending the same brand but I wonder that if I am going to change my oil every six months will it warrant some more expensive oils

Use any brand of semi-synthetic oil, 10w-40.

It's that simple.

It's 95 wagon with apexi induction, AFC and Front cat back exhaust. Hoping to up the boost a bit. It only really gets a good run at the weekend and tends to do very short runs during the week.

god i deceided to have look at what oil to use in my subaru and ended up laughing like a nut case, who is this **** pete. god what a moron that obviously has no intent on using anything other than the type of oil that subaru use. sorry pete (or petite **** should it be known) i have taken advice from some subaru experts and gone with a more expensive oil.

pete if you are reading what petrol do you use? the subaru recommended petrol? also pete if you drive like you forum fight then you shuld really not bother coming in here where genuine people offer advice.

stay well away you silly little woman.

I would look at a 10w-50 synthetic, this will give you the best of both worlds, ideal for daily use and also ideal for hard use etc.

Oil. I buy the best i can afford to be honest.

15 makro crap compared to 35 quid millers/silkolene.

I mean 20 quid difference why risk it.


Only thing iv been dubious about is 10w -40 or 10w -60.

I use 10 - 60 its a thick oil but i drive her daily and shes`s always on boost at some point.

And andy at the clinic said thats what they use in there cars.

So would it do any harm to drop back to silkolene 10w 50, for the nxt oil change in september?

Why do u think 60 is to thick if the clinic use it who are subaru specialist?

Dont listen to pslewis m8. If subaru said put iron filings in the engine he would

You have bought a performance car, 40 quid for decent oil is ok.

Which scoob u got, i think that the newer ones use a differnt oil to the classics.

Cheers

Nothing to explain - look in your cars handbook ...... if it says use 10W-40 Semi then to buy anything else is IMO a watse of money.

Some on here recommend what they sell and make money on - your main Dealer is one.

Do as you wish, I will stick to what Subaru Recommend - thanks all the same

Why would i stick to what Subaru recommend after reading your posts.

They use 5/40 Shell Helix Ultra £40....

Pete, you'll be fine whatever you use - you're never above 4000 revs, eh ?
