allan_browne Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Happy New Year All. I have had my 05 WRX for nearly 4 months now, and it's only done just over 20,000 miles, the other day the engine was making a slight ticking noise, i checked the engine oil level and found it was completely empty, i have checked under the car and there is no visible signs of any leak, anyone know what else could be the problem with using up all the oil in the engine?
st3ph3n Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Any mods? Been serviced at the correct intervals? 20K is about the right time for a service. They do use a bit of oil, especially when tracked etc.
higgy Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Hi Most turbo charged cars use oil so you are best to check your oil once a week or every two to three tanks of fuel. Higgy
stevie 4 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 get an oil and filter change the same thing happened to me in my classic last month i heard a loud knocking from the engine checked the oil and it was nearly bone dry.i immediately got an oil and filter change then let the engine run for a while then by the time i was home the knocking had stopped.

Thanks for the reply, so my next question is, what would be the best oil and oil filter to use for my car, not being an owner for very long, i'm not up to scratch on what is the best things to get.

higgy Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Hey Snoopy ,get a filter from Subaru and your oil that is best suited to your car is Millers 10 / 60 . If you try Star performance or dastek ,they both stock the oil and possably the filter. Higgy

johnnyr6 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 If your doing the oilchange yourself prefill the filter before fitting it then unplug the crank sensor and turn the engine over until the oil light goes out (obviously once the new oil is in) then you can reconnect the sensor and start the car. Once finished take it for a run then check the oil level again.
