Running a 2001 wrx, just comming up to first minor service since buying it and wondered what engine oil to put in. Previous owner did tell me what he used, but I cant remember.

Put kettle on, set aside 3 hours and enter "which oil" into Search facility at top of page.

 

lol - cheers m8. Work's just gonna fly by today..

 

Check out oilman's posts, very helpful http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=472512

Silkolene ProS 5/40 seems to be a good favourite

 

I used Catrol GTX Magnatec 10w-40 cos thats what its had in from new, thats what my main dealer puts in it so thats what im putting in.

 

Please remember, if you are doing the Oil Change yourself, to study the **** Oil Change Procedure:-

See here:- http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=419129

I have used Comma Oil at £12 for 5 Litres .............. absolutely no problems whatsoever.

You may wish to buy expensive Oil if it makes you sleep better - but it's false economy IMO .... regular 6 monthly changes are far more beneficial.

BTW ..... I do NOT carry out the utterly pointless **** Oil Change!!

Did mine the other day and followed the strict instructions given to me by my local scooby expert.

1. remove sump plug and drain old oil
2. remove old oil filter
3. replace new oil filter
4. replace sump plug
5. fill with new oil
6. Drive.

Seems suspiciously similar to every other oil change ive ever done. He did say that if I wanted to roll one trouser leg up and hop up and down like a **** whilst doing the oil change it wouldnt do any harm.

 

Best.......................

Silkolene PRO S 5w-40 or Motul 300V 5w-40.
