Hi everyone,
We have recently purchased a Forester, never have we owned a boxer engine before so this is a bit new to us. I have for many years run synthetics in our cars without issue. The Suburu specfies 0w20, which I think is to thin, probably to meet fuel economy targets.
I'm in Australia and I am thinking of going to a 5w30 or 0w40 when next a service is due, I use either a K&N filter or Mobil One as well.
What are your recomendations?
I was thinking of a Shell Ultra Helix as a starting point,
Thanks in advance
Tony
