I think it is a decent oil, similar to the Helix Ultra from Shell, just aimed at commercial vehicles rather than cars. It's not an ester synthetic or PAO synthetic, so a good, rather than top end oil. The problem with it is that a lot of the comments about it are from Americans and a lot of the American oil market is basic mineral oils, so a lot of what we consider normal oils seem much better when compared to a basic oil. It's weird as Amsoil and Red Line make some brilliant oils and are American, but they do not seem that popular on the American market. When you have a 5.7 V8 that makes 130bhp, the engine is having a very easy time, so you can get away with using basic oils. Those big, lazy V8s are more like a commercial engine than what we would expect from a car engine. Things are changing with oils in the US now, but generally, I would say they are behind Europe with oils (except Red Line, Amsoil and a couple of others). Cheers Tim

Hi We might have it in the future, but as it's primarily aimed at commercial vehicles, a lot of people wouldn't use it in a car. Cheers Tim

Hi Nothing really, as far as you car is concerned. That only matters if it is a low emissions diesel. Cheers Tim

Hi 5L will do both the diff and gearbox. You need a 75w-90 GL5 oil. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-gear-oil.aspx The Millers CRX NT, Motul Gear 300, Red Line 75w-90NS and Gulf Competition are ideal as top end options. The Millers TRX Synthetic/EE Nanodrive, Mobil SHC, Castrol Syntrax Universal Plus and Valvoline Synpower TDL are good, but a step down from the top oils. Fuchs Gear Syn, Motul Motylgear, Millers TRX Semi and Castrol Universal are good, cheaper options. The code SUBOC will give you 10% off. Cheers Tim

Hi The Millers TRX is a good option for the gearbox and diff. There are other options that will do both, but the TRX is a good one for the money. I don't have a Legacy, so don't know how easy it is to access the diff and gearbox, but that pump should do the gearbox and diff. Cheers Tim

Hi David Toss a coin, they are both top quality oils. I really have no preference between those two, but at the moment the Fuchs comes with a free litre, so that would swing it for me. Cheers Tim

Hi 5w-30 is recommended for economy purposes, so not the best option for when the car is driven hard. A 5w-30 is fine for normal road use, but if you want to thrash it, then a 5w-40 is the more sensible option. Also, quite a lot of people have reported oil consumption with 5w-30 and the 5w-40 will slow/reduce it. If yours is getting driven sensibly and doesn't burn oil, a decent 5w-30 will be fine, but with hard use and if it burns oil, a 5w-40 would be more sensible. Cheers Tim

Magnetic Sump Plugs from Gold Plug - The last drain plug you'll ever need! Another American company, Gold Plug was started in 2001, simply because they were fed up of not being able to find a good quality magnetic drain plug for their street bike engine that they had just finished rebuilding. After searching high and low, Gold Plug was born. Now, their daily mission is to supply the very best magnetic drain plugs to keep your vehicle running in the best possible condition. Why choose a magnetic oil plug over a standard sump plug you ask? Well, there's quite a few reasons actually. Every time you run your engine, there will be a build-up of contamination in the form of thousands and thousands of very small particles of ferrous metal. The main cause for these microscopic particles is friction, and you can imagine how much of this is generated when driving hard. To put things in perspective, an engine travelling at just 2000rpm sends the pistons up and down the bore 33 times per second. Imagine what a day on track is doing to your engine! The oil filter does its part in keeping these filtered, however, they can only filter out particles larger than 35 microns. These nanoparticles of metal suspended in the oil are considerably smaller than this, and to top it all off, the smaller the particle, the more damage they can do - This is because they travel pretty much anywhere in your engine when under hydraulic pressure. The only way to "trap" these particles is with very strong magnetism. You can find them HERE. If you fancy a look at exactly how magnetic sump plugs work, you will find a handy video on each product page. Have a look below for links to just a few of the vehicles they cover: - Subaru - Nissan - Mitsubishi - BMW - Honda - Audi - Mercedes - Toyota - Ford - Peugot - Mazda - Volkswagen - Renault - Volvo - Land Rover - Mini - Gold Plug have designed their range to fit over 100,000 cars and motorbikes, so if you need any advice on the correct one for you, then please get in touch. Why rely on just any old drain plug, when you can have one from Gold Plug that saves your engine from the wear and tear of metal particles? One last time, that code is: HG20 and is running until the end of March, so if you want to get 20% off either of these great brands, you'll want to get these orders in as soon as you can. It's also worth keeping an eye on our current offers page HERE. There are all sorts of goodies to be found! If you've got something a bit special and need a bit of advice, then give us a ring for a bespoke and impartial recommendation that is tailored to your specific set up. We're in the office Monday to Friday 8:30 - 5:30, on 01209 202 944 and [email protected]. You can also drop us a message on here. Until next time, Oilman

We expect the majority of you have heard of Millers Nanodrive Oils by now - They were a real game changer when they were first introduced to the world of motorsports, providing a dedicated range of oils that were designed to increase power by reducing friction, all thanks to their nifty "Nanodrive Additive Package" Well, the tech guys at Millers Oils have done it again.

Hi Yes, the gearbox needs a 75w-90 GL5 oil as well. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-gear-oil.aspx The Millers CRX NT, Motul Gear 300, Red Line 75w-90NS and Gulf Competition are ideal as top end options. The Millers TRX Synthetic/EE Nanodrive, Mobil SHC, Castrol Syntrax Universal Plus and Valvoline Synpower TDL are good, but a step down from the top oils. Fuchs Gear Syn, Motul Motylgear, Millers TRX Semi and Castrol Universal are good, cheaper options. Delivery normally takes 2-3 days. Cheers Tim

Hi Is it an auto or manual? If manual, the gearbox and diff share oil, so no need for a front diff oil. If auto, it has a separate diff. The rear diff needs a 75w-90 GL5 oil and if it's an auto, you need the same for the front as well. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-mtfs-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Red Line 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Gulf Syngear are also good choices. 0w-30 should be fine for the engine, but sometimes Imprezas can be a bit rattly when cold with a 0w oil and the UK doesn't get cold enough to need a 0w, so I would probably go for a 5w-30. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-653-5w-30.aspx The best ones there are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Mobil ESP, Castrol Edge, Shell Helix Ultra ECT, Millers XF, Fuchs GT1 and Red Line, but the Motul Eco-Energy, Mobil Super 3000, Shell Helix HX7 AF/AG and Fuchs XTR are good cheaper alternatives. Cheers Tim

Hi It's a very good oil and glad to hear it's working out well for you. Cheers Tim

Hi I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and that should stop/reduce the consumption. 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 Sport/300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XF Longlife, Castrol Edge/Magnatec, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives. Cheers Tim

Hi Phil Does it burn much oil with the ESP? Cheers Tim

Hi Brad Classic Imprezas often suffer from piston slap when cold and using a 5w-40 is likely to make that worse than with a 10w-40. Cheers Tim

Hi Brad I would use a 10w-40 as it's not going on track. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Fuchs Pro R, Red Line and Millers CFS. As a cheaper alternative the Fuchs Syn MC, Gulf Tec Plus, Valvoline Durablend/Maxlife, Castrol Magnatec, Shell HX7, Motul 6100 and Millers EE/Trident are good choices. Cheers Tim
