Engine oil filters

[beachsleeper]

Would i be right to only use subaru filters.

If you have a Scoob under warrettee and you get engine problems and found with a non scoob filter you could be in dire strates...I had a differant oil filter fitted by Tiley's BUT this was in a packaged with an Oil cooler kit..Scoobyclinic did not like this so changed the sndwich plate to a subaru filter fit one. But at only a fiver for a scoob filter is it worth the bother?

ive seen a lot of scobs with non gen oil filters on and most do cuse a problem . for how much a subaru filter cost it not worth messing about:biggrin:

[scoobysteve]

i get mine from halfords, as I change my oil once a month i dont get any problems.

[scoobyDAZZA]

once a month ??????????

jesus , with the oil i use that would cost me £1200 a year
have a look on opie oils website , i get my filters from there and have had no problems

[scoobysteve]

Yeah I use castrol magnetex stuff @ about £25 for 5 litres, What do you use that costs that much?

[Broxi]

i use aftermarket filters from my local automotive retailer

sh1t mate , , alot of tuners say NEVER use magnatex

i use motul v300 competition oil 15/50 , ideal for very modified scoobs
a 10/40 would be the best bet for standard or mildly modded but not magnatex

only saying what i read elsewhere :wink:

[scoobysteve]

Thats good to know, I'll try somethine else then. Have a look down opie oils see what they suggest.

[james-darren]

what do u guys think of mobil1 oil??

[scoobyDAZZA]

not as good as millers or motul but better than magnatex

[james-darren]

ok cheers mate, any ideals which grade i'll need from motul ??? for a 95 wrx import?

[scoobyDAZZA]

10/40 v300 fully synthetic for standard - mildly modified
15/50 v300 fully synthetic for heavily modified (this is what i use)

it aint cheap but look on opie oils website, cheapest i can find.
and i change mine every 1000 miles :biggrin: cheaper than a new engine :wink: (just)

[james-darren]

To right alot cheaper, yeah i'll have look mate cheers for the help.
