Oil advice & recommendations from oilman @ Opie Oils


Recommended Posts

Subaru Owners Club has invited us to start an "oil recommendations" thread here... so if you would like any oil advice or a recommendation for your car please feel free to ask here and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
 
To help us to give the most accurate advice possible we do need some information about your car. e.g.
Make:
Model:
Year:
Engine type:
Performance modifications:
Driving style: (road / off-road / track etc)
Any other information that may be relevant: e.g. approx BHP if modified, oil temps if known
What recommendation are you looking for? Engine, Gearbox, Diff etc.
 
Any oil we recommend is available to buy from us (if you would like to) for delivery throughout the UK and many destinations in Europe. We offer a really extensive range of oils and lubricants from 11 major oil manufacturers at prices much lower than the high street and main dealers. We stock oils and fluids that meet pretty much all manufacturers and international specifications. Our brands include, Silkolene, Fuchs, Gulf, castrol, Motul, mobil, Millers Oils, Shell, Valvoline, Amsoil and Redline.
 
The good news is, now the Club is a member of our club discount scheme you can discounts of at least 10% across our entire range.

To redeem your 10% club discount simply use the following club discount code at the checkout.

SUBOC

Once the code is added at the checkout you will then receive your extra 10% club discount. However this discount code cannot be used in conjunction with other offer codes, BUT the code can be used in conjunction with any of our offers on this page HERE that do not require offer codes.

Any questions please ask here or contact us via email at sales@opiepoils.co.uk

Finally, if there are any products we don't stock and you have difficulty getting hold of elsewhere, let us know and we'll see if we can stock them.

We look forward to being of help!

Cheers
Guy, Opie Oils

Can I ask, what kinda brands do people go for? Oil for their scoobs that is.

 

I'm after some new engine oil, but there are so many choices, I'm a little uncertain on which one.

 

My manual says i need 5w-30

 

I found some Shell Helix oil, from Opie Oils eBay page here - which seems quite a decent price.

 

Any ideas? what brand do you go for?

Hi

 

In that case, I'd go for a 5w-40.

 

 
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XF Longlife, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G, Shell Helix and mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
 
Here are the Subaru filters
 
 
Cheers

Hey, What oil would you recommend for a 1999 Subaru impreza sport non turbo? Road use and only has air filter and exhaust change so no real effect on bhp I would presume, thanks in advance.

Hi

 

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic as the best option.

As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs Syn MC, Shell Helix, Millers Trident/EE Nanodrive, castrol Magnatec, mobil Super 2000 or Motul 6100
 
 
Cheers

Good choice, if you aren't in too much of a rush and can hold off ordering for a week or two, there will be an offer for buy 5L and get a litre free of the Nanodrive.

Cheers

Hi tim, what oil would you suggest for my legacy, 2.0 non turbo? The manual suggests 5w-30, but i notice you tend to recommend 5w-40?

I was looking at Shell Helix Ultra ECT 5W-30 Premium Fully Synthetic Engine Oil, but i hear millers nano oil is often recommended?

Any ideas?

Cheers
