Optiumum oil type for MY03 N/A Foz (+200,000km) ?

Post by EB# » Sun Mar 20, 2016 9:49 am

Hi there,
Just wondering what grade/type oils people are using in their SG N/A Foresters? My manual lists 5w-30 as the preferred grade, but also notes 10w-30 and 10w-40 as options.

5w-30, 10w-40, other?
Fully synthetic, semi synthetic??

Cheers.

How many KMs has the motor done? the higher KMs the thicker the weight oil should be.
Às well it depends on what oil was last used in the service, normally you would use the same brand again.
