I have a black spot in the tunnel..On the way to to Big Als, I was urged to "be sideways" in the tunnel..All that happened was - broken oil pump gears...

Then I ring my trusted wrx mechanic / mate whos dad owns and runs an ultratune and they will do the log book service for $178 + oil if I want different stuff..Now im yet to do read the manual but is there anything I should look at replacing? Airfilter with a K&N panel? I hear they make induction louder?Also been having a good search and im unsure what oil to use.. In the wrx I ran all sorts (both cheap and expensive) and rarely changed the oil (well over 15K kms) and thrashed the pants off it and it was fine :Dof course with a brand new car you take a different approach! The Castrol Edge sounds the good but is it better to go a 40w or 60w? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Castrol Edge sounds the good but is it better to go a 40w or 60w? Thanks!If you want to believe those oil test results that were published a while ago, the Penrite oil kicks ass. The Royal Purple also tested well. The Castrol Edge was ok but not overly flash as far as they were concerned. They weren't even very impressed with Redline.As far as the weight goes, I would probably just stay with the 0W40 although I do know a lot of people that use the 10W60. These engines are supposedly designed with relatively tight tolerances that favour a lighter oil. The 60 weight would run slightly higher oil pressure (not ideal considering the oil pump gears are already somewhat suspect), it would also drop the engine power output ever so slighty.
