tom_gr7 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 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?

tom_gr7 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 thanks Johnny, I've no idea what oil filter I've got, I think i had it changed when it was serviced, which was at 2.5k ago. Think its worth getting a new filter too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny b Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Always change oil filter when you do an oil change bud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavLadLeeds Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 What oil would be recommended on a 2006 WRX hawkeye model? I believe the manual says API CLASSIFICATION GL-5?! Does that mean 10w-30 Synthetic? Also, I would like to use a standard Subaru filter - how much are these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi Are you after engine or gearbox/diff oil? 10w-30 is mainly an engine oil grade, GL5 is a gear oil rating. CheersTim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLadLeeds Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I am after some engine oil please! What is recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi In that case, I'd go for a 5w-40. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx 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 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-73744-subaru-oil-filter-genuine-subaru-oe-oil-filter.aspx Cheers Tim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiv Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 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.

oilman Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi I would use a 5w-40 synthetic as the best option. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives. 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 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLadLeeds Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I think I will go for the Miller CFS NT 5w-40. Sounds very good. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 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.

tom_gr7 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 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?
