    Factory vs. Aftermarket: which oil is better?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 19 October 2017

    I would use the factory recommended oil, at least while the car is under warranty. Once the warranty has expired you could use the Mobil oil and shouldn’t experience any problems.

    Kia Sportage or Subaru XV?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 28 September 2017

    Both would be well suited on the basis of what you have told us. The top Sportage is more expensive than the top XV, but it’s more economical, the service intervals are a little longer, and it comes with a 7-year warranty compared to the XV’s 3-year deal. If you planned to keep the car for a number of years I would suggest the Sportage is the better choice, but if you turn your cars over regularly I would probably go for the XV.
