I get asked many questions about oil so I thought a thread here for all oil related questions would be a good idea and build into a FAQ or reference point for others. So, put your oil questions here but please give the following information if you would like a recommendation: Make Model Year Engine size/type Any mods Type of use (road/track) Additional info (max oil temps, current oil used) What do you want a recommendation for? Engine, Gearbox etc? I hope this will help and become a useful thread Regards Guy |

Hi Guy, could you tell me what engine oil you would recommend for my 1995 Subaru Impreza 2.0l turbo, cars done 129000m, only mods are full de-cat and chipped Ecu, so is now boosting at 1.1 bar. Car will be mainly used on the road with occasional track use. LJ

If you want the best then have a look at the ester based Silkolene Pro S 10w-50, well proven and ideal for road and track use. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1145-silkolene...ce-engines.aspx Cheers Guy. |

A good 5w-40 synthetic for all year round use is ideal. Have a look at Fuchs, Motul and Silkolene. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy. |
