Gambit Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I'd have a word with Tim at Opie Oils he's on here has a pist set up will give you the best advice for your car and recommend any offers they have with discounts (Always a good thing :D ) they also do plugs too ;)
Jolly Green Monster Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I have seen good results with motul 300v 15w50 and millers 10w60. Plug wise upto 300ish hp ngk pfr6b over 300hp ngk pfr7b and beyond 550hp racing 8s. Varys depending on the year of the car but usually 0.6mm plug gaps if early car (v1/2) 0.7mm v3 onwards. Simon 1

Simon I went for the pfrb6 plugs.factory set at 0.8. This for my 2000 Subaru forester.I always thought oils like you mention above are to heavy on the engine lol
Jolly Green Monster Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 If your a fairly standard forester the yes the recommended by subaru grade oil is best. I would go fully synthetic 1
Rick 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 I was low on oil and I couldn't any decent oil any where just to top up like the 10/60 I had no choice but to get 5w/30 fully synthetic just for now till I do my oil change.I hope it will be ok
