Oil advise required Guys
Hi All,
I have an 2005 STI (std bhp) and its almost service time. I have searched the forum for info on the best type of oil to use and there are so many opions and options i'm a little confused
I just need your recommendations for the best oil (Grade and brand) to use for my car
Thanks in advance

01 General Information, Sections 09 (periodic maintenance services), subsection 03 (engine oil), page 2
5w-30 recommended, whilst 10w-30 and 10w-40 is acceptable. Although 10w-50 can be used heavy duty applications
Also see 01 General Information, section 07 (recommended materials) page 2 and 3
5w-40 is also acceptable as this falls in the same viscosity ranges as a 5w-30 and 10w40. Brand? I'm not going there; as its purely a personal choice.
