i needed to know the thickness more then anything 5w30 :thumbsup: My friends is mechanic so ill see what oil he has in mind too. from what i have googled so far its a 4w30 fully syntetic.
 
go to barrys motorsport get urself some millers oil i found it the best out of all oils i used personally i use 10 w 50 in my legacy ,

5 w30 seems a bit light but im no expert

5w30 comes from factory in imprezas. so far everyone recomended 5w30 too. would love to hear more on that.

as i said im no expert on grades but i found millers the best i used 45 euro for 5 litres
 
Motul 15W50 in mine. Basically because when I drive it, it doesn't get the easiest of times :icon_biggrin:

I think your year impreza came with 10W40 as standard but maybe they've changed their recommendation now :dontknow:
 
i am confused now. i found the sticker with info when oil needs to be changed, but it did not said which oil it uses. so which is standart oild for blobk 05 WRX? :ponder2:

Impreza came with 10w 40 from the factory and every Subaru garage will use that when servicing.

I would stick with that and go for a good brand, eg mobil1, castrol or motul.

Swrt used to use motul but it's very expensive IMO for a road car.

I use 10w 40 for the road car and 15w 50 for the track car
 
Coming into winter I'd probably put in a 5w30 or 5w40. I'd recommend Millers XF Long Life Fully Synthetic aswell.

This might be little bit too late...

you can use any of 300V range, regardless the viscosity... they are ester based oils

if you want to go for 100% fully synthetic, I will recomend Motul 8100 Eco-nergy 5w30 - subaru recommended
