Been in a few weeks now - mine mapped as well - sti top mount decat and vf48 - wanted an oil to cope with the changes :-)

Not a bad price from these as well - if u mention SN is cheaper again..

yeah i was told that but found it **** thin when on track days ect. all the rally boys over in the IOM use 10/40 or 10/50 and as there engine is worth more than my car i'll go with them lol,

Mine is mapped and running 300ish and never had any issue with it, plus i change the oil every 6mths.
