I always used MOTUL COMP 300V, even made the engine less tapity.

Think it takes about 4.5litres (Always had to buy 6L) , if Im wrong am sure someone will let us know!

I just bought Silkolene Pro-S 5w-40 for £38 from Opie Oils. Used it once before and never had any trouble.

I've always used Silkolene Pro R 15w-50, as recomended by Opie Oils. Also call be stupid but I always use genuine subaru oil filters

[StrikE]

Always used Mobile 1 MS 15W/50 5L

I would generally use a genuine filter as well

This may sound stupid the car goes better with the mobil 15/50 over millers 10/60 must be down to using a lighter grade oil .I buy the mobil when Halfords have there sale

Subaru put 5w40 Castrol in my car at the last service and let me tell you never again, I changed onto 10w50 fully synthetic elf oil and it has been good so far, still looks clean after 3000 miles
