Also add the possibility of petrol attendants wanting to make an extra coin hence recycling the oil in drums  I have serviced many times on TOTAL stations when picking a car from the port. I think its a matter of trust, considering the stations are multinationals with internal and external controls. Wouldn't recycled oil show in the colour? wouldnt that dent their reputation irreversibly? The only disadvantage with that method as compared to the oil in jerrycans is that you cannot top up after some months when the oil level reduces slightly. you will have to but in the small containers.

What engine oil do you guys use?I have a non-turbo Impreza 1500cc & I once read in the car manual that the recommended engine oil was 5W-30.
My mechanic however always puts in Shell Helix HX5 (15W-40).
My question;
Does it really matter? What do you guys use?Also is this synthetic or natural?Whats the diff? let me sort you partially read this
