Default Choosing oil and filter
Looking to do an oil change and wondering what people recommend, my car came with a spare couple of litres of Mobil 1 10/60w which personally I think is a bit thick especially when it comes to the colder months. Car is on a TD05-20G and stock internals running 352Bhp. Any suggestions for me would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻

54 plate uk widetrack STI with ppp. It’s not a daily, I just take it out as and when I can, I drive it just normal other than when I feel like giving it some stick.

Ha, the debate I’ve been reading on forums for nearly 20 years.

I’m of the opinion if it’s a road car and you don’t go mad, 5w40 millers CFS and genuine black oil filter.
