Nah just stick to the Subaru ones

Its when you start buying the supercrap / repco ones that you run into problems!! All to save 4 bucks!

Ive tried Redline 10W-40, Fuchs Titan, Motul 300V Chrono... I think my engine luvs 300V more than the others....

as for g/box oil, tried Motul FF comp type 2 and Fuchs, I can say that I had smoother shifts with Motul...

If Motul is good enough for Atkinson, its good enough for me

hwo can u tell the difference????

any decent oil 10w 40 or or lighter will give u decent engine performance..

paying any more for "a better oil" i seriously doubt u will notice a performance difference... if u do, its just ur head.

I'm swaying towards the tubolight stuff. At $45 and after the feedback it's getting it sounds like really good value for money......

Ok. I've just purchased 5 litres of Motul Turbolight, a Subaru filter and a crush washer. I have just replaced the rear diff oil using Redline 80W140 gear oil. Just the gearbox oil left to do and it's all good......
Only time will tell now.

Cheers
