Castrol magnatec 10/40 is what mine has .

Everybody has different thoughts on this, some say fully synthetic others say semi. Subaru for mine recommend Shell Helix.

How long is a piece of string comes to mind.:doubleup:

10\40 semi from any motor factors. Regular mobile one is too thin mobile one motorsport is too thick and tappets can tick a bit from cold in the winter. If you really must spend more then £25 then go for shell helix

Would that be Shell Helix Plus and how much would I need for an oil change,thanks

I've started using Comma semi 10>60 as it gets changed every 1500 to 2000 miles as i get bored !
