MSSLGECKO Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hey there, I am not trying to start a war over oil weights, brands and such. I just am curious what weight(s) people would suggest for this application (EA81T with 135K) Should I consider the cold winter temp.s? Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 read the owner's manual, there is a warning about oil for turbo engines, and the recommended oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 I dont' have a manual. The service manual (pdf form) that I have doesn't say jack about the recommended oil weight for any subaru engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I just use 10W30 as it doesn't get cold enough where I live to need a lighter oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Anyone else? (I'm sure that anyone's EA82T application is valid as they are very similar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave valiant Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Well, according to my owners manual you should'nt run 5W-30 unless it is -25 or colder.I run 20-50 in the summer and 10-30 in the winter in my EA-81T.Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
