Hi, my mate has a 99 wrx. has done about 87,000kms and has about 50% morepower than a stock WRX. it is currently using M1 10/30 full synthetic (the one in the gold container). anyway, after a few drags, about once a week his dipstick goes from FULL to EMPTY. therefore around 200 to 500ml's is...

For those who think that better quality oils dont make a difference then here is a real world example.. i know a fair few people who own wrx's and they have complained of the gears crunching... i think the oil that is in the gearbox is a non-synthtic castrol... well everyone who complains of...

Hey, I've got Mobile S 10w/40 (not mobile 1, this is the part-synthtic oil) in my 1999 Sti (turbo) I was wondering how many km's i should run using this oil? What would be a safe distance? 3000miles, 4000miles, 5000miles. thanks
