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.

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.

For the auto box a good Dexron III ATF is ideal.

For the diif a GL5 75w-90.

A good 5w-40 synthetic for all year round use is ideal. Have a look at Fuchs, Motul and Silkolene.
