Question

Think I should give my new Legacy some new oil, as I'm not sure when it was last done, and I don't want any nasties to happen..

Only problem is that I'm not sure which oil to use. Handbook says 10W40 but doesn't specify Fully Synthetic or not.. On the Power Engineering site it suggests 10W50 (Mobil One) for Impreza's..

The car is a MY '93 Turbo (UK version).

Anyone know?

Cheers

Steven

If youre modded and drive hard / track then fully synth is better, and reccomended. Otherwise, In my view Magnatec is fine.
