Got my scooby bak after 3 years of having a evo9, good times agen, what is the best recommend engine oil to use? Coolant and diff oil? Thanks.
Any1 knw a good mapper this side of se London as the scooby I'm getting back had been left there undriven 4 about a yr and a half

 

Welcome back , Which model do you have and what side of london are you?

 

Helo mate, im from south east london, near the dome, iv got a 2004 sti blobeye, running around 330 by 330, full blitz nur spec r, 3" d cat, uprated fuel pump, oil cooler, hks induction, aps or uprated tmi, ecuteck map and a few mre things i dnt remember, i swapped my scoob 3 yrs bak for a evo9 frm a friend, the scoob has since been sat there undriven and unused for about a yr and a half. so happs i got it bak! iv missed the rumble

 

The best oil I would recommend based on experience would be Millers CFS 10w 40 for the engine and CRX 75w 90nt for box and diff. Do not use engine flush just get the fluids nice and warm and (carefully) drain and replace. Welcome back by the way.

PS unless you're tracking the car you don't need an oil cooler at your level of power. Is it a thermostatic one?

 

Cheers einstein, a few people have already mentioned millers aswel so i guess thats wot il be getting, not sure if its a thermostatic one, all i know is that its a mocal setrap.

 

castrol edge for me

The problem with oil coolers on road cars is the oil is never hot enough to warrant a cooler. Running with an oil cooler when not needed will not allow the oil to get up to a nice healthy running temperature. What oil temps are you seeing on the road?

 

Pop around the 25 to Surrey rolling road and get JGM to map it

 

Neil is a great Subaru specialist,

My car's ruuning similar power to yours and on my last service, I used Millers CFS 10W50 engine oil and Millers CRX NT 75W90 gear/diff oil.

 

Einstein from what i can remember back a few years ago temp was normally around 90 everyday driving and upto 100 when booting it, and thats with the oil cooler, i have defi gauge to monitor.

 

cheers guys, another quick question as the car has been sitting unused for about a yr and a half, is there anything else i should do so to insure no problems

 

Alright mate. Just otherside of the Blackwall tunnel from you. I also just returned to scooby ownership this weekend.

 

LOL Evo son what a coincidence mate, same weekend aswels, what evo did u have? i had a yellow 9 fq320 running around 415, dnt get me wrong mate, wel happs about the scoob but still gona miss the evo!!!

 

I had an Evo 4 for about 2 years then I switched to motorbikes for a while. Evo had loads of work done in Japan before I got my hands on it. Bhp was a healthy 310.
We should meet up at some point for a photoshoot of both scoobies.

 

Just down the road from me

I've not used slowboy racing btu have heard good things.
personally i think it's worth the trip round to see JGM.
