Hi folks,
New to the forum, but have read many of the posts over the years. Great information...Thanks all!!
I've been using Castrol Syntec (now edge) for several years on my vehicles (Rav4 V6, VW 1.8T), but have now acquired a Subaru WRX and have been reading a bit, perhaps over reading, and over thinking which engine oil to use. According to spec. it states 5W30 with API-SN, or ILSAC GL4/5 or better. There are several "performance" oils on the market (Motul, Royal Purple, Total etc..) and even the Syntec from Canadian Tire is rated SN as well as Pennzoil, Mobil 1 etc.
Question is, which one is "better" to handle the extreme temperatures of the Subaru Turbo, and the lovely Toronto weather yet to come. Thoughts?
Thanks folks,
